Topic: Using LEAP to compare among multiple countries or citiesSubscribe | Previous | Next

Hello,
I am a new LEAP user. I have a question. Is it possible to use LEAP to compare multiple countries or cities? For example, comparing a developed and a developing country or comparing two or more cities in a single model with different sets of assumptions?
Thank you
Mahmud

1 Like Hi Mahmud,
LEAP areas are typically used to represent a single geographic area such as a country, a province or a city, although it is possible to break that area into subregions within the software. So, you could use LEAP's Regions capability to represent two distinct, non-overlapping regions with different assumptions. Under certain circumstances, you may also be able to use LEAP's Scenarios to hold different assumptions out in the future, but these different countries would share a common "Current Accounts" in LEAP.
I'd recommend you read the following two help files for some more information about Regions and Scenarios. Otherwise, the LEAP interface is not intended to be used to compare two entirely separate models.

Dear Mamun Bhai,
Good news! SEI has also developed and is maintaining the Water Evaluation And Planning system, WEAP. Visit the website: http://www.weap21.org. It could be a very strong tool to fulfill our interests in water sector.
Sincerely yours,
