WEAP Training Courses

Learn the WEAP System

The WEAP Basic Training course provides an introduction to the basic and intermediate features of WEAP. WEAP ("Water Evaluation and Adaptation Planning" system) is a user-friendly modeling software platform developed by the Stockholm Environment Institute that takes an integrated approach to water resources planning.

The course follows several exercises within the WEAP Tutorial in an interactive, online environment. While basic computer proficiency is expected, no prior experience using WEAP or other water modeling software is required. The course consists of 3 training days of 3 hours each, for a total of 9 hours. A certificate of course completion is provided upon successful completion of the course.
