VIRTUAL SESSION 2 "MODELLING SCENARIOS" – PART OF THE WATER-ENERGY NEXUS SYSTEMS MODELLING PROJECT
On February 28, 2025, the second virtual session titled "Modelling Scenarios" was held at the Training Center of SIC ICWC. This session was organized by SIC ICWC in collaboration with the World Bank Group and the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) as part of the "Water-Energy Nexus Systems Modelling" project.
This session is a part of a series of virtual workshops designed to provide participants from Technical Group 1 with a comprehensive introduction to the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) system, with a specific focus on its application in the Syr Darya and Amu Darya River basins. The training addressed various water use sectors in the region, including domestic supply, agriculture, hydropower and in-stream environmental flows.
The session focused on developing modelling scenarios for the Amu Darya and Syr Darya River basins. Participants explored in detail the process of creating and implementing current scenarios in WEAP and learned the fundamental principles of working with the model. Additionally, participants gained an understanding of how to apply these scenarios in the Aral Sea WEAP model, which helped them better understand the potential consequences of various water use scenarios in the region.
As a result of the session, participants gained hands-on experience in creating scenarios in the WEAP model and applying them in Aral Sea WEAP. They also received methodological materials and recommendations on how to use the model for water resources analysis and scenario assessment. The session not only to deepened participants' knowledge but also provided them with practical skills needed for future work in water resources modelling.
