Abstract
Abstract: Water resources management and analysis is very critical in today’s ever increasing and demanding world. Different types of schemes and software for management are available to meet these requirements. WEAP (Water Evaluation and Planning) software is an integrated approach towards evaluating and planning of water demand and supply that can be very helpful in analysing and understanding water requirements of a particular city, area or region based on various inputs and further trying to understand and predict the future requirements. In this study, a WEAP model for future water demand of Bhavnagar city in Gujarat, is developed, that can predict the water demand requirement upto year 2041. Evaluation of WEAP is done based on census data for 2011 (as census data for 2021 for 10 year period was discontinued due to Covid-19 pandemic), considering 1.67% of growth rate. The final results include three scenarios, namely, Low population growth rate 1.5%, Moderated population growth rate 2%, High population growth rate 2.5%.
