The Management Options Database synthesizes and documents a comprehensive set of management practices implemented by the water managers on behalf of a collective (e.g., municipal water systems, irrigation districts) or as individuals (e.g., farmers) to adapt to drought conditions in the Rio Grande/Río Bravo basin. This database provides input to implement the policies in the agent-based module of the ENVISION RGB integrated model (i.e., the range of possible decisions the agents can make in the model) and explore new scenarios of water management. It was developed drawing on the ethnographic data collected by the ethnographic team (Friedman, Paladino). Regular meetings were facilitated by the modeling team (Koch,...

This database provides crop coefficients and start and termination dates for more than 40 crops grown in the Rio Grande/Bravo basin. It was created drawing on a literature and dataset review covering resources from the State Agricultural Extension Services (Colorado State University, New Mexico State University, and Texas A&M University), the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture), AgriMet, and the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization). The database provides crop coefficients from plant emergence (or break dormancy in the case of perennials) to termination (harvest or dormancy), as well earliest planting date, killing frost temperature and cumulative growing degree days up to emergence, full cover and termination....

The Rio Grande/Río Bravo Socio-Environmental geodatabase synthesizes a broad array of existing geospatial data sets on the social and environmental characteristics of the basin. In addition to traditional biophysical and socio-political data sets (e.g., stream network, political jurisdictions boundaries, land use and land cover), the geodatabase provides the spatial domain for a typology of institutions making decisions about water and land. The produced geodatabase aggregates 145 GIS data layers classified on five main themes: (i) Water & Land Governance, (ii) Hydrology, (iii) Water Use & Hydraulic Infrastructures, (iv) Socio-Economics, and (v) Biophysical Environment. Data sets, identified as critical by the modeling...

The model documentation provides the details of the ENVISION RGB modeling framework. ENVISION is a spatially explicit integrated simulation platform that was allows to simulate the coupled dynamics of socio-environmental systems (Bolte et al., 2007). To document the model implementation, we used the ODD + D protocol (Grimm et al., 2010; Müller et al., 2013) which is a standard format for describing agent-based models that include human decision making.
