Abstract:
Water resources allocation for the optimisation of water uses at each user end is one of the major challenges to the policymakers and stakeholders. Water resources planning needs multi -disciplinary approach for sustainable development. The present paper provides an extensive review on Water Evaluation and Planning Model version 21 (WEAP21) applications as a decision-making tool for water allocation problems and water resources planning in different aspects including water quality analysis, groundwater modelling and climate change simulations. From this literature-summarised review, WEAP21 can be concluded as a powerful IWRM tool for priority-preference based simulations under various scenario generations.
