If you will be attending World Water Week in Stockholm later this month, please come see the launch of our major new version of WEAP, which features a dynamic linkage to SEI’s LEAP (Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning) system. Using this combined WEAP-LEAP system will allow you to build models for exploring the Water-Energy Nexus! Lunch will be provided.
