While scientists can contribute to a technically defensible basis for water resource planning, this framework must be cast in a broader societal and environmental context. Given the complexity and often contentious nature of resource allocation, success requires a process for inclusive and transparent sharing of ideas complemented by tools to structure, quantify, and visualize the collective understanding and data, providing an informed basis of dialogue, exploration, and decision making. Ideally, a process that promotes shared learning leading to cooperative and adaptive planning decisions. While variously named, mediated modeling, group modeling, cooperative modeling, shared vision planning, or computer-mediated collaborative decision making are similar approaches aimed at meeting these objectives. In this paper, we frame \"cooperative modeling\" in the context of ground water planning and illustrate the process with two brief examples.</p>","PeriodicalId":94022,"journal":{"name":"Ground water","volume":" ","pages":"174-82"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2008-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/j.1745-6584.2007.00394.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41063975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, it can be used to address problems with nonlinear head-dependent fluxes, where the problem can be separated conveniently into steady-state and transient-state components. Superposition can be used to simulate the transient-state head changes independently from the steady-state heads. The problems addressable by superposition include phreatophyte discharges, stream-aquifer interactions, spring discharges, and drain discharges. Each of these represents a nonlinear head-dependent flux, where the flux depends on the elevation of the land surface or some other feature. Superposition is applied by referencing elevations to the local steady-state water table and by imposing the negative of the steady-state flux on the transient-state problem.</p>","PeriodicalId":94022,"journal":{"name":"Ground water","volume":" ","pages":"251-8"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2008-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/j.1745-6584.2007.00408.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41065055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
