InterACTWEL (Interactive Adaptation and Collaboration Tool for managing Water, Energy and Land) is a computer-aided decision support tool that is being developed to empower land, water, energy managers and food producers to envision and plan towards a resilient future for their local communities. Unlike other tools that focus on the short-term decision-making, InterACTWEL will help communities identify natural resources management decisions over time, for long-term adaptation to changes that they do not have control of, such as severe water restriction, changing state laws, and/or changing climatic patterns.
InterACTWEL is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) via an interagency partnership between the National Science Foundation (NSF) and USDA-NIFA.
