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
