a-new-tool-helps-water-managers-consider-ecosystem-needs-dfdc0d46f582f260.pdf
The Stockholm Environment Institute has developed a tool based on the Water Evaluation And Planning (WEAP) system that allows water managers to model the impact of various management options on aquatic habitat and species viability. By analyzing daily hydraulic, substrate, and temperature conditions, the tool helps balance human water needs (urban, industrial, agricultural) with ecosystem health. It has been applied in California's Santa Clara Valley Water District and the South Fork Eel River to manage salmon habitats and evaluate the impact of policies, including cannabis cultivation and groundwater management laws.
