This paper reviews techniques that may assist the system dynamics modeller in defining variables and functional relationships, parameter estimation, validation, sensitivity and policy analysis. The evaluation was made in the context of water resources management modeling effort for the Guadiana basin in Algarve and based on scientific, economic and operational criteria. In general, it was difficult to point out the most appropriate technique but rather recommend combinations of methods for each modeling stage.
