WaterGLS supports hydropower development, water basin analysis, and water infrastructure planning. We utilize the Water Evaluation and Planning, or WEAP model for our system analysis, and can model system sources and uses under climate change and other system dynamics. Work at the water / energy nexus will be especially important in the years to come as our planet’s water resources are stretched with the accelerated pace of development.
