Abstract
Interactive simulators utilizing current microprocessor technology have been developed and applied to several categories of contemporary water planning and management problems. Specific issues addressed include realtime system operation, training programs for system managers and technicians, demonstration of system management alternatives, and public education programs and workshops. Both generalized and site‐specific water management systems have been modeled by simulators which allow the user to interact directly with the computational stream of the system model. Simulator units have been constructed using various combinations of visual displays, monitors, and printed output devices to monitor system performance. Results of this 4‐yr investigation indicate that interactive simulator technology offers an effective and flexible alternative to traditional digital computer simulation.
