Abstract

The Rio Grande/Río Bravo (RGB) Basin is an excellent example of a highly intertwined, freshwater-scarce, socio-environmental system. Past modeling efforts either focused on a subset of this basin with a size of 552,382 km2 and/or implement social processes in an ad-hoc manner, with no socio-environmental modeling approach for the whole RGB in existence. We developed a basin-wide modeling approach with a complex representation of social processes for water resource management and environmental outcomes. We based the analysis of the RGB system on three stages:

An Agent-based Simulation Model for Representing Water Management Strategies in a Large Trans-boundary River Basin

The Rio Grande/Río Bravo (RGB) Basin is an excellent example of a highly intertwined, freshwater-scarce, socio-environmental system.
