A methodology for managing the performance of complex dam systems is described. The system is represented hierarchically, so that high level business decisions and more detailed operational decisions can be supported by the same methodology. Performance of each sub-system is captured by a set of performance indicators. Evidence of performance is assembled from all available sources. Uncertainty in the available evidence is modelled using Interval Probability Theory, providing a commentary on sources and implications of uncertainty in the decision.
