PODIUMSim

Model for National Level
Water and Food Policy Dialogue

As part of the World Water Vision 2025, IWMI developed PODIUM - the Policy Dialogue Model in 1999. PODIUM enables users to develop national level scenarios of water and food supply and demand on various policy options. Though PODIUM was recognized as a useful tool for generating scenarios, some limitations were also identified. Inability to capture spatial variations, especially in large countries, was a major limitation in PODIUM.

The revised version, named PODIUMSim addresses these limitations. PODIUMSim was developed in collaboration with The International Commission for Irrigation and Drainage under Country Policy Support Studies (CPSP) program. Under the CPSP program the revised model is being applied at the river-basin level in India and China.
