| Example | Problem | Input Data | Output Data | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wastewater Pond | Waster water is pumped into a containment pond. Company needs to know the rate of outflow to ensure minimum environmental standards are met. |
|
|
Recommended rates of outflow as a function of volume and chemical composition of inflow. |
| Carbon Calculator | Company needs to know what measures can be taken to offset carbon emissions. |
|
|
Recommendations based on current practice on how carbon emissions can be minimised, sequestration maximised while minimising economical impact. |
| Regression Analysis | Fish stocks in a lake are low. Managers need to know the cause(s), changes in fishing practices, food sources or abiotic factors such as climate change. | Historical data both spatial and temporal to include:
|
Graphical and regression analysis showing links and patterns between all components of the lake ecosystem both biotic and abiotic. | Recommendations for changes that can be made to lake management practices to improve fish stocks. |
| Linked ecological and hydrodynamic numerical modelling | As Above. | As above and to include:
|
Daily output on nutrient cycles, phytoplankton, zooplankton and fish concentrations. Additional scenario modelling to predict future trends under alternative lake management practices as well as changes in climate data. | Recommendations for changes that can be made to lake management practices to improve fish stocks. |
