27. WEAP is a comprehensive system for maintaining water demand and supply, fl ows, storage, discharge, and many other hydrological processes. It provides a set of model objects and procedures that can resolve problems faced by water management using a scenario-based approach, which works on the natural watershed, reservoirs, streams, and canals. It has built-in algorithms that use climate time series data and simulates rainfall-runoff of basins and sub-basins. To set up the WEAP model for application in a watershed, it includes various steps such as: study period, study area boundary, actual water demand and supply and setting up the alternative set of future assumption based on robust policies that affect the water demand and supply and hydrology of the watershed. V. Modelling of WEAP starts from the input of geographic layers, which include all supply and demand nodes WEAP Water Evaluation And Planning system MODEL | 27 November 2024

31. As a database, WEAP provides a system for maintaining water demand and supply information. As a forecasting tool, WEAP simulates water demand, supply, runoff, stream flows, storage, pollution generation, treatment and discharge, and instream water quality. As a policy analysis tool, WEAP evaluates a full range of water development and management options, and takes into account multiple and competing uses of water systems.
