"A model is a representation of real-life problems or situations. It copies significant attributes of a real prototype but is simpler and is easier to build, change or operate. Put differently, models are basic tools in science, engineering, business and various forms of planning. They can be applied to situations or systems, which are both existing and non-existent. For example, suppose that we are to assess the environmental impacts of releases of heated water from a proposed thermal power plant into a shallow lake. To assess the impact, do we have to build a power station and deliberately release varying amounts of heated water, as an experiment? Given the huge efforts, great costs involved, etc., this is unwise to do. Furthermore, this will cause the very environmental damage that the planning exercise is trying to prevent. To assess impacts, it is obviously better to use a model of the system. Source: http://in.docsity.com/en-docs/Environmental_Management_Techniques_-_Environment_Management_-_Study_Notes_"
