Collaborative Modelling Approaches by Deltares
By By applying these approaches to water-related problems, Deltares aims to enhance planning and decision making capacity for both our clients and other stakeholders. These include national and international government agencies, policy makers, private enterprises, non-governmental organizations and various water user groups and associations. The combination and interaction of expert and local forms of knowledge forms the basis to all of our collaborative modelling approaches. Through frequent, interactive and facilitated workshops, we create transparent platforms for knowledge sharing that credibly balance competing stakeholder interests. Directly involving stakeholders in the design, construction and use of modelling tools builds stakeholder trust, understanding and sense of ownership for the developed tools.
