<br />4. USER INVOLVEMENT <br />The intent of the user involvement program is to solicit users' input <br />into the design and development of the CRDSS, and to provide training in <br />its use. User involvement helps ensure that the system meets users' needs <br />and facilitates their acceptance and continued use of the system. The user <br />involvement program includes installation of prototypes on the Briefing <br />Room system at the CWCB offices, meetings, workshops, and development <br />of tutorial materials. The Briefing Room is open to the public and <br />interested persons are invited to review the CRDSS prototype. <br /> <br />o Information Products <br /> <br />o Review and Feedback <br /> <br />o Enhance Communication <br /> <br />o Policy Analyses <br /> <br />5. DOCUMENTATION <br />Software documentation (on-line and written) will be an ongoing <br />task throughout CRDSS development. Documentation will be critical to the <br />long-term success of the system and will provide the State with complete <br />information for maintenance and upgrading of the CRDSS. Objectives of <br />the documentation effort are to provide a feedback mechanism early in <br />development, facilitate sharing of software between developers, support <br />system maintenance and future development, and provide basic training <br />materials. <br /> <br />APPLICATION SCENARIOS <br /> <br />The utility of the CRDSS can be illustrated by describing <br />candidate scenarios for its application. An application is cast in the context <br />of a user accomplishing herlhis job in addressing a particular water <br />management issue. To illustrate, three examples are described below: <br /> <br />Scenario Using Spatial Database - Determine Irrigated Acreage <br /> <br />The spatial database functions of CRDSS could be used to review <br />one or more of the data sets incorporated into the CRDSS. For example, a <br />State Legislator may request that the DWR determine the irrigated acreage <br />in their district. The DWR engineer can use the Spatial Data Browser to <br />display a map of irrigated acreage at any location in the Colorado River <br />Basin in Colorado. The engineer could display the regional map, select a <br />subpart of the region pertaining to the area of interest, and display the <br />irrigated lands for that area. Total irrigated acreage for the selected area <br />can then be computed and a table of all irrigated acreage and crop types <br />printed out. <br /> <br /> 0 <br /> .
