Project 1.2 (WEAP analysis)

1. Refine WEAP based upon updated information - information on new water- information on land use- climate change / hydrologic information…- Socio-economc data

2. Establish WEAP as operational scenario planning tool to national Water Authorities, Ministries and regional NGOs”

IndicatorsIndicators

Possible outputs / policy indicators

• Unmet Demands- for different climate / socio-economic and adaptation scenarios

• Cost / benefit- for different adaptation options, economic optimization e.g. in NWMP

• Climate- droughts, frequency, intensity, duration- reduced water availability- additional irrigation demand (current crops, cropping areas and

management practices and future scenarios)

• non-generic GLOWA outputs?- population growth, GDP etc

GLOWA Integration ActivitiesGLOWA Integration Activities

Westbank WEAP – Regional WEAP exchange

• Data Exchange

• Agricultural Demands (crop area and demand)

• Municipal Demand

• Water Abstractions (in preparation)

• Schematics

• Water system implementation in WEAP (ongoing)

• Implementation of current and future WWTP (ongoing)

• New Water (HWE, PHG)

• Water data on demand and supply side management options

GLOWA Integration ActivitiesGLOWA Integration Activities

Planned activities• Model validation

• Obtain water data series for abstraction and municipal demand

• Model validation in coordination with Regional WEAP

• Scenario runs

• Update scenario runs with newest SAS Scenarios

• Modflow – Westbank WEAP

• Rainwater Harvesting – Westbank WEAP

• Implementation of current and future WWTP (ongoing)

• Training and Dissemination

• More trainings planned

• WEAP - MYWAS
