Modelling the hydrologic role of glaciers within a Water Evaluation and Planning system (WEAP): a case study in the Rio Santa watershed, Peru
The study utilizes the Water Evaluation and Planning System (WEAP) in the Rio Santa watershed, Peru, to simulate glacier retreat and river flows over the last forty years. The project aims to quantify the contribution of melting glaciers and groundwater to river flows and simulate hydropower operations, ultimately providing a tool to improve the resilience of Andean economies against climate change.
