12. CSC 6 February 2008 Summary 1.ICM is high on the radar, but needs careful consideration 2.Integrated data is needed for regulatory requirements, RBMP’s, POM’s, CFMP’s, Water Cycle Strategies 3.Integrated data is complex! DSS can help, but need to be applied carefully 4.Increased conceptual understanding of potentially fragile, but less well understood systems (e.g. hyporheic zone will help 5.Such data will guide revisions to RBMP’s, investment decisions and help operational planning
