Community Water Model (CWatM)
Sours: https://cwatm.iiasa.ac.at/
Research model: CWatM
Community Water Model (CWatM) is a hydrological model simulating the water cycle daily at global and local levels, historically and into the future, maintained by IIASA BNR Water Security group. CWatM assesses water supply, demand, and environmental needs, including water management and human influence within the water cycle.
Basic sepcifications of the model:
