WEAP Modelling Scenarios

The WEAP water balance model, developed by the Stockholm Institute of Environment, has been set up for the Barapullah Drain (New Delhi) and the Kanpur Metropolitan Area to examine how the demand for water and quality of water in the river and the underlying aquifers change over time in accordance with various socio-economic and environmental drivers (population growth, growth in per capita demand, changes in climatic conditions, especially rainfall conditions and changes in wastewater treatment technologies and capacities) and how the supply of water in terms of quantity and quality to meet the requirements (demand) of water changes under various technological interventions.
