Abstract

Develops a tool for water utilities and resource managers that allows scenario testing and rapid "what-if" analysis. Integrates diverse variables in a dynamic model that extends previous work on the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) system to a broader range of utilities, adds an alternative analysis dimension, and expands the alternative water supply options.
