Water resource management is an integral policy issue.
Over the past fifty years policy making and water resource management has changed from a strictly technical issue to
an issue involving society as a whole, with both urban and rural planning agencies and stakeholders.
Considering society as a subdomain, we address water resource management as
the interaction of four subdomains: Society, Atmosphere, (Water on) Land, and (Open) Water.
Splash! attempts to capture and simulate these interactions between society and the physical environment.
Society is represented by socio-economic sectors, such as industry, agriculture, and urban areas. In addition,
different interest groups represent the values of these sectors and react to your actions.
