    Abstract

    Bayesian networks (BNs) are a mature technology now widely used for modelling complex domains requiring decision making under certainty, such as environmental modelling. Object-oriented BNs (OOBNs) have been proposed to help manage the modelling complexity through structured decomposition, abstraction and encapsulation. OOBNs have been applied previously to water catchment management, but without explicit spatial modelling. In this paper, we present a novel schema that captures the spatial relationships between connected dams, as well as the temporal dynamics of the catchment over successive seasons. This is validated on an abstracted 5 dam example, with results presented for two representative cases.
