WET-tool

by Water Smart Dams

Making dams work again!

The WET-tool simulates how dams will perform under different farm management, geographic, and climatic scenarios providing dam water intelligence to boost farm resilience under dry and changing climates.

The WET-tool is being developed by the Centre for Water and Spatial Sciences at The University of Western Australia.

We're just getting started, we'd love your feedback to shape its development!

Science-grade water modelling

At its core, the WET-tool uses the high-performance and science-grade General Lake Model to simulate dam water balance over time.

The General Lake Model is primarily developed by the AED group at UWA.

The WET-tool platform will expose a GLM web API for your custom modelling applications.

WET-tool platform

The WET-tool platform can be accessed via web browsers on mobile, tablet, or PC devices.

The platform offers user friendly interfaces to GLM-powered dam simulations coupled with analytics and reporting tools.

WET-tool features


dam design

Design dams

Optimise dam dimensions for performance with your farm's climate, geography, and use.

cost-benefit

Cost benefit analysis

Simulate the costs and benefits of different dam technologies (roaded / plastic catchments, cleaning dams, and fixing leaks).

climate change

Insights into a changing climate

Assess your current dam's performance, or the performance new builds, under changing climates.


farm planning

Farm planning

Dashboards, project management, and spreadsheet tools to intergrate WET-tool simulations with your farm planning.

audit

Farm water audit

Work with consultants and use the WET-tool to conduct detailed farm water audits and water risk analysis.

regional analysis

Regional-scale analysis

High-performance cloud computing and GLM modelling tools permit regional-scale dam performance analysis.
