WaterGAP (Water Global Assessment and Prognosis)

Martina Flörke

WaterGAP is a global hydrological model that quantifies human use of groundwater and surface water as well as water flows and water storage and thus water re- sources on all land areas of the Earth. Since 1996, it has served to assess water resources and water stress both historically and in the future. It has been used in multiple studies on climate change impacts and drought and includes an advanced estimation of groundwater recharge. WaterGAP simulations regularly contribute to ISIMIP simulation rounds.
