Overview: Natural resource managers and stakeholders face difficult challenges when managing interactions between natural and man-made systems. Even though the collective interests and computer skills of the community of managers, scientists, and other stakeholders are quite varied, there is an overarching need for equal access by all to the scientific knowledge needed to make the best possible decisions. A Decision Support System (DSS) can meet this need. DSSs have been described as, "computer-based systems (for) helping decision-makers to solve various semi-structured and unstructured problems involving multiple attributes, objectives, and goals? Historically, the majority of DSSs have been either computer implementations of mathematical models or extensions of database systems and traditional management information systems." This paper describes DSS developed for three hydrologic systems in South Carolina and Georgia, USA.
