ABSTRACT
The previous chapters have interpreted the water and salt profile for the Argolid Valley and have considered how this, in conjunction with other attributes, has affected the choice of crops grown. The next two chapters will introduce ongoing work into the strategic modelling of water flow and the progress towards a dynamic representation of the complex relationship between the natural and anthropogenic components of agricultural production. As was explained in the preface some of the mathematical representations may prove unsettling to the casual reader. However, it is hoped that by reading around these, and drawing upon the background knowledge of the Argolid situation, such a reader will gain an insight into the modelling process and a sympathy for the contribution that such representations can make in the exploration of possible futures.
