Although the Dublin principles of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) are well-established, the third principle on gender is commonly missing in practice. We use gender mainstreaming to identify examples where gender-specific perspectives might influence water resource management modelling choices. We show how gender considerations could lead to different choices in all modelling phases, providing examples from three familiar components of modelling practice: (a) problem framing and conceptualization, (b) model construction, documentation and evaluation and (c) model interpretation and decision support. We suggest a future approach for integrating gender perspectives in modelling. Including gender dimensions could strengthen modelling results by engaging with a range of stakeholders and highlighting questions, knowledge, values and choices that may otherwise be overlooked. Such an approach won't always result in a different model and results. At the very least it's a mechanism to explore and reveal gendered assumptions knowingly, or unknowingly, embedded into the model.

尽管都柏林的水资源综合管理原则已经确立，但在实践中通常缺少关于性别的第三项原则。我们使用性别主流化来确定一些示例，这些示例中的性别观点可能会影响水资源管理模型的选择。我们展示了性别考虑因素如何在所有建模阶段导致不同的选择，并提供了来自建模实践三个熟悉组成部分的示例：（a）问题框架和概念化，（b）模型构建，文档和评估以及（c）模型解释和决策支持。我们建议在模型中整合性别观点的未来方法。包括性别维度，可以通过与一系列利益相关者合作并强调问题，知识，否则可能会被忽视的价值观和选择。这样的方法不会总是导致不同的模型和结果。至少，这是一种机制，可以有意或无意地探索和揭示嵌入模型中的性别假设。
