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!
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.
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.
Optimise dam dimensions for performance with your farm's climate, geography, and use.
Simulate the costs and benefits of different dam technologies (roaded / plastic catchments, cleaning dams, and fixing leaks).
Assess your current dam's performance, or the performance new builds, under changing climates.
Dashboards, project management, and spreadsheet tools to intergrate WET-tool simulations with your farm planning.
Work with consultants and use the WET-tool to conduct detailed farm water audits and water risk analysis.
High-performance cloud computing and GLM modelling tools permit regional-scale dam performance analysis.
