This paper presents integrated water resources management models built using the Water Evaluation And Planning (WEAP) system, for three pilot towns in the Lake Victoria region: Bukoba (Tanzania), Masaka (Uganda), and Kisii (Kenya). IWRM models for each town were calibrated under current system performance based on site visits, utility reporting and interviews. Projected water supply, demand, revenues and costs were then evaluated against a combination of climate, demographic and infrastructure scenarios up to 2050.
