IIASA Water Security Research Group (WAT) colleagues led two training workshop sessions on water modeling in April. The sessions were hosted by the Grand Water Research Institute, in Haifa, Israel.

As part of the WAT project WFaS-Israel, WAT researchers conducted two successful training sessions on the Community Water Model (CWatM), together with Israeli colleagues at the Grand Water Research Institute at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology. The training introduced CWatM to a diverse audience of researchers, graduate students, and private and public sectors water experts. It provided the participants with basic and intermediate level tools for running hydrologic simulations, and access to the CWatM global datasets.
