Abstract
WEAP, is a menu-driven microcomputer
program designed to assist policymakers in evaluating
water supply policies and developing sustainable water
resource plans. It operates on the basic principle of
water balance accounting: water supply vs water
demand. Four primary types of system components can
be modelled: demand sites, thought of as a related set of
water distribution systems; wastewater treatment plants
that receive and discharge return flow from the demand
sites; local supplies, or non-river based water supply
components, each one managed and operated
independently; and rivers and their nodes, representing
the water resources and other river-based water uses
that form a single river network managed together
through a river simulation mode. The model was tested
in the upper Chattahoochee River Basin, Georgia to
evaluate its capability.
