Join SEI researchers for a three-day training on how to perform water modelling and planning using our flagship software, WEAP.
WEAP is a user-friendly modelling tool that enables integrated water resources planning on a variety of scales. Nearly 50 000 people use WEAP throughout the globe for policy planning, research and more.
SEI experts will conduct the training online, in English, with one week between each session on 17, 23 and 30 October 2024, from 8–11 a.m. PST (5–8 p.m. CET). The course will follow some of the exercises found in the self-guided WEAP tutorial and includes quizzes, optional homework assignments, and opportunities for questions and discussion to enrich the learning each day. Check the training time in your location.
The training costs USD 300 per person. No previous WEAP experience is required and a WEAP license is not necessary to participate in the course. Review the syllabus to make sure the training will meet your needs. A certificate of course completion is provided upon successful completion of the course.

Tool / The Water Evaluation and Planning tool (WEAP) provides a comprehensive, flexible and user-friendly framework for policy analysis in water resources planning.
Project / SEI researchers work throughout California to model complex water systems and explore sustainable management options.
Project / SEI is helping FAO meet sustainable development goals by training technicians to assess water stress at the sub-basin level in Algeria and Tunisia.
Project / SEI researchers used WEAP software to run water supply scenarios in Rwanda to analyse where and when shortages might occur and their economic impact.
Project / SEI adapted WEAP to assess the needs of chinook salmon and steelhead trout in the Santa Clara Valley Water District.
Past event / Learn how SEI's innovative water modelling tool allows researchers and policymakers to advance sustainable and equitable water planning.
Perspective / This World Water Day, SEI Scientist Doug Chalmers reflects on how science supports conflict resolution around one of the planet's most precious resources: water
Feature / Water managers must balance the needs of aquatic habitat and human supply. SEI Scientist Doug Chalmers explains a new approach to help resolve that tension.
