Fit for purpose? Building and evaluating a fast, integrated model for exploring water policy pathways
We developed a fast, integrated assessment metamodel for exploring adaptation pathways in the Rhine delta. Closed questions were used to evaluate the fitness of the simplified physically-based model. In addition to traditional metrics (observations) other evaluation metrics were used. These metrics include the ability to simulate scenarios, policy actions, and calculation speed. The model fits the purpose of screening and ranking of policy options and pathways.
