Spaces are still available for a three-day training on how to perform water modelling and planning using their flagship software, WEAP.
WEAP is a user-friendly modelling software 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, on 12, 14 and 16 June, from 8–11 a.m. PDT (5–8 p.m. CEDT). 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 US$250 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.
