1 Water and Climate Change Building Community Consensus for a Sustainable Future for Iowa and the World Kristie J. Franz Jean Goodwin Bill Gutowski Chris Rehmann Bill Simpkins Leigh Tesfatsion Al Wanamaker Geological and Atmospheric Sciences, Economics, English, and Civil, Construction & Environmental Eng. 1

2 Water and Climate Change Sustainable water through community interactions and integrated modeling of the human-natural system. 2

3 Water and Climate Change Goal: Evaluate impact of climate change on regional water resources and human responses to the associated changes and uncertainties. Merge existing methods of Iterative Participatory Modeling (IPM) with Agent-Based Modeling (ABM). Build tools that will allow researchers and decision makers to assess the complete watershed system. Pilot Study: Squaw Creek Watershed (Ames, Iowa) 3

4 It s a watershed with. communities governments people a water cycle - rain and snow - soil water - groundwater - surface flows - evapotranspiration natural and man-made ecosystems It s not just a river. a history Wisconsinan glaciation Pre-Illinoian glaciation natural resources and a future 4

5 Water Resource Studies Fail to consider the system holistically. Human influence ignored. Hydrologic system treated as a series of parts, rather than as a complete cycle. Fail to treat systems as dynamic. Human behaviors do not evolve. Climate and land use remain unchanged in time. 5

6 Typical Hydrologic Modeling Study Researcher tweaks scenarios analyses output Hydrologic Model Squaw Creek Watershed Results Z z z Public Stakeholders Researchers 6

7 Agent-based modeling with IPM Researchers Tweaks Scenario analysis Climate Models Hydrologic Model Iterate Agent-Based Models Sustainability Squaw Creek watershed Stakeholders Decisions 7

9 Step 1: Build conceptual models Hydrologic & human systems models. Stakeholders included from start. 9

10 Step 2: Build computational model Hydrologic and climate information to agent models, agent decisions to hydrologic model and other agents. 10

13 WACC Long-Term Goals Outcome Empirically-based decision tool to guide sustainable development of water resources. Expand spatial and temporal scales Regional, national, paleoclimate, climate change adaptation. Commercialization?
