Use of models for water resources management, planning, and policy

The U.S. Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) recently sent a report brief to this office that I would like to share with our readers. It presents yet another instance in which the importance of computer modeling is being recognized. Because the brief is only part of a full report, * / have chosen to reproduce it in its entirety rather than to "excerpt the excerpt."
