Abstract

A first workshop was held at RIVM in July and August 1990 in order to chart the information flows necessary to produce Environmental Forecasts. Points of departure were information flows pertaining to Acidification and Eutrophication models. An attempt was made to generalize, and to provide relatively detailed examples for Agriculture and Traffic. Contributors to the first workshop were RIVM staff members engaged with environmental forecasting and information management at a general level. This report contains: - diagrams as produced originally by the first workshop ; - an evaluation ; - ideas on follow-up. The evaluation stresses the information planning process that yet has to begin, and the limited use of the attached diagrams outside this context.
