WEAP ("Water Evaluation And Planning" system)

Abstract

WEAP ("Water Evaluation And Planning" system is a user-friendly software tool that takes an integrated approach to water resources planning. Freshwater management challenges are increasingly common. Allocation of limited water resources between agricultural, municipal and environmental uses now requires the full integration of supply, demand, water quality and ecological considerations. The Water Evaluation and Planning system, or WEAP, aims to incorporate these issues into a practical yet robust tool for integrated water resources planning. WEAP is developed by the Stockholm Environment Institute's Boston Center at the Tellus Institute. For more information check out the web site: http://www.weap21.org/.
