Model parameter time series of the Business Roadmap for sustainable development of the Mar Menor and surrounding Campo de Cartagena

<p>The Business Roadmap and Policy Recommendations (BRM) represents 14 solutions for sustainable development of the Mar Menor and surrounding Campo de Cartagena that were developed during an extensive co-design process (workshops, expert interviews, online questionnaires) with representatives from all relevant sectors involved. A full description of the BRM, its co-development, and the modelled impacts on Key Performance Indicators of sustainability can be found in<a href="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7142764"> Mart&iacute;nez-L&oacute;pez et al (2022)</a>.</p> <p>The model parameter time-series in this dataset indicate if and when a solution is turned on or off between 1964 and 2070 based on preferences indicated by stakeholders. These time-series represent input parameters for the System Dynamics model of the socio-ecosystem of the Mar Menor-campo de Cartagena developed in the COASTAL project and that is used to quantify impacts on key performance indicators of sustainability. This System Dynamics based model, developed by Mart&iacute;nez-L&oacute;pez et al (2022) can be consulted <a href="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7142764">here</a>.</p> <p>The Business Road Map and Policy Recommendations (BRM) consists of the following 4 milestones and related 14 solutions:</p> <p>(I)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Rural ecotourism</strong>:</p> <p>1. The promotion of rural ecotourism activities.</p> <p>(II)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Coastal ecotourism</strong>:</p> <p>2. The promotion of coastal ecotourism activities.</p> <p>(III)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Sustainable agriculture</strong>:</p> <p>3. Implementation of nutrients, soil, and water retention measures</p> <p>4. Reduction in fertilizer use</p> <p>5. Denitrification of brine wastes from groundwater treated for irrigation</p> <p>6. Decrease in agricultural water demand per hectare (i.e. 10% of decrease by default in the model)</p> <p>(IV)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Integrated sustainable management</strong>:</p> <p>7. Control of the extension of irrigated areas</p> <p>8. Promotion of environmental education</p> <p>9. Control of the number of groundwater wells (i.e. maximum 500 wells by default in the model)</p> <p>10. Promotion of small (&lt;10MW) (agro)photovoltaic facilities</p> <p>11. Surface water pumping from the Albuj&oacute;n ephemeral stream</p> <p>12. Control of other point sources of pollution to the lagoon</p> <p>13. Groundwater pumping and treatment</p> <p>14. Increase in sea water desalination amount (twice the BAU value)</p>
