This requires a representation of societal preferences through describing the preference structure and elicitation of individual preferences. use machine-learning and data mining approaches to learn from large, possibly high-resolution data sets.Įnvironmental decision support aims to aid decision makers in identifying management alternatives which reflect the societal preferences as close as possible.

Building on past three years’ success of this session, a specific new emphasize for this year’s session is to explore the utility of Bayesian water quality models in supporting decision making.

The aim of this session is to review the state-of-the-art in this field and compare software and procedural choices to consolidate and set new directions for the emerging community of Bayesian water quality modellers. Graphical Bayesian Belief Networks and related approaches (hierarchical models, ‘hybrid’ mechanistic/data-driven models) can be particularly powerful decision support tools that make it relatively easy for stakeholders to engage in the model building process and inform adaptive water quality management within an uncertainty framework. This is particularly relevant in environmental decision making where Bayesian inference enables to consider the reliability of predictions of the consequences of decision alternatives, alongside uncertainties related to decision makers’ risk attitudes and preferences, uncertainty related to system understanding and random processes. Bayesian approaches have become increasingly popular in water quality modelling, thanks to their ability to handle uncertainty comprehensively.
