SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document describes a strategy for 
developing the Causal Analysis/Diagnosis Decision Information System 
(CADDIS). CADDIS is envisioned as a decision support system that will 
help investigators in EPA Regions, states, and tribes find, access, 
organize, and share information useful for causal evaluations in 
aquatic systems. It will include supporting case studies and analysis 
tools, and it will provide access to databases that contain information 
useful for causal evaluations. The system will be developed 
incrementally and iteratively, and frequent user input and feedback 
will be essential to the system's success.
