Abstract

This study employs the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) system to analyze water resource management for the Sedawgyi Dam in Myanmar. The research integrates hydrological data, demand projections, and infrastructure information to simulate current and future water scenarios. Key steps include model setup, calibration, scenario development, and analysis. The results indicate that Mandalay City's highest domestic water demands are in Chanmyatharzi and Aungmyaetharzan townships, with agricultural water demands peaking in Mattaya township. The reference scenario highlights a significant domestic water supply shortfall, meeting only 10% of the demand, while agricultural demands are nearly fully met. The study underscores the urgent need for improved water management strategies to address rising unmet water demands, particularly for domestic use, to ensure sustainable water resource allocation in the region.

Abstract

This study addresses the critical issue of assessing climate change impacts on streamflow and water demand in the Katha basin using the WEAP hydrological simulation model with the Soil Moisture (SM) method. The Katha basin, situated within Ayeyarwaddy River basin, faces variability in stream flow due to changing climatic conditions, impacting water availability for agriculture and domestic use. Through WEAP modeling, calibrated and validated against observed data from 2000-2012, the study projects an increase in annual flows under future scenarios (SSP245 and SSP585). Results indicate potential decreases in monsoonal flows, affecting water availability for agriculture and domestic use, necessitating adaptive management strategies. Model performance assessed by Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) and Coefficient of Determination (R2) shows satisfactory agreement with observed data. The study underscores the urgency of integrated water resource management to sustainably address water demands amid climate variability, highlighting implications for agricultural productivity and water security in the region.
