Abstract

Modelling projects that intend to aid aspects of water resource management typically require a large investment of time and resources from modellers, software developers, end users and other stakeholders. These projects are also prone to falling short in achieving expected outcomes. Several papers have been written that provide insight into why different models or Decision Support Systems (DSS) were adopted or not. Here, we report on a formal process designed to elicit and quantify researchers viewpoint of the factors contributing to success in decision support modelling projects (using 33 success factors from the literature) and to evaluate 15 projects against these factors.
