Model Merger Exercise:
The Brine Shrimp of Mono Lake


It is often useful to merge two models dealing with different aspects of a system because the combined model may teach us something new.
That is, we might gain insights into system behavior that could not be gained from operating the two models separately.

This exercise provides an opportunity to merge two models dealing with different aspects of Mono Lake.
You may use the combined model to reexamine the export policies from Chapter 4.
In the process, you may discover that the whole model turns out to be more than simply the "sum of its parts."
