A Conceptual DSS Framework for the Water Quality Control of the Nakdong River Basin: System Analysis and Design

The purpose of this paper is to present the conceptual DSS framework for the strategic planning and decision support. It considers water quality, quantity, and the ecological status of surface. As the basis of this conceptual model were used a list of management objectives, measures, and external scenarios. System diagrams for the catchments and the river network were adopted. They describe the properties, processes, and data influencing the water flow and substance load. The interaction of management objectives, external scenarios of climate, agro-economic and demographic change, and selected measures to achieve the desired state of good water quantity and quality are investigated
