Water Evaluation Platform

Docs and User Guide

Explore the Water Evaluation Platform (WEP) documentation.

Here you'll find detailed written guides and tutorial videos covering every stage of the process. The User Guide walks you through how to: create dam, catchment, and costs profiles; select the right analysis mode for your specific needs; configure and run tailored simulations; and understand and interpret your results.

You’ll also find real-world case studies that show how WEP is being used across the south-west Western Australia region to support smart water decisions and resilient farm planning. These examples highlight practical applications and outcomes from the WaterSmart Dams project.

Learn how to set up your WEP account, navigate its key features, and understand its role within the WaterSmart Dam project.

Information Notice and Privacy

There is no guarantee provided for the accuracy of dam simulations, analysis, or information presented by the Water Evaluation Platform.

There is no guarantee that saved data and analysis will persist and that app functionality will not change.

There is no guarantee provided that the default costs profiles are accurate at any point in time. For each analysis that you undertake, you are recommended to create custom costs profiles that reflect your expected costs associated with constructing and maintaining dams and catchments. You are responsible for the accuracy of these costings.

You are recommended to verify all outputs and information provided by the Water Evaluation Platform with experts and alternative information sources before using this information in any way.

The Water Evaluation Platform bears no responsibility or liability for any losses, damages, or costs associated with use of any information provided.

Why we collect your personal information?

This information is used solely for account registration, communication, and service delivery. This information also enables several app features such as allowing users to save the results of analyses and view them later, to create custom information as inputs to dam simulations that is more geographically appropriate, and to keep a record of simulation inputs so they can be reused. Information related to saved simulations, such as input parameters, results or visualisations is not shared between accounts. We do not use this information for research or to collect data for research. We do not disclose your information except as required to do by law or to provide support to you.
