The WEAP program, first released in 1988, is an integrated water resource management planning software designed to evaluate current and future water supply and demand scenarios for which the biophysical and socio-economic conditions are changing within the watershed. WEAP performs water balance computations for every node (demand usage) and link (water transmission or streamflow). The distribution of water is based on linear programming. WEAP has been applied around the world for forecasting water supply and demand, pollution modeling, climate change analysis, and hydropower.
Key features of the WEAP software include no cost for governments, non-profit, or universities in developing country. The program can be coupled with MODFLOW (groundwater model) and QUAL2E (water quality model).
