Abstract
WEAP, the Water Evaluation and Planning System, is a menu-driven microcomputer program designed to assist policy makers in evaluating water supply policies and developing sustainable water resource plans. WEAP provides an integrated picture of a supply and demand system, which can include rivers, reservoirs, and groundwater as water supply sources, and offstream and instream flow requirements as water demands. WEAP operates on the basic principle of water balance accounting. By modeling, in an integrated framework, present and proposed actions on the supply side and demand side, the analyst can study the behavior of the total system. WEAP can be applied to single or multiple interconnected river systems at the city, regional or national level to implement most water development evaluation tasks. WEAP is a planning laboratory for exploring development futures.
