S&T Project 1877 Model: Water Treatment Estimating Routine

Published by Bureau of Reclamation | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: June 13, 2026 at 11:29 PM | Dataset Last Updated: June 11, 2026 at 05:23 PM
This file is the WaTER Model (Water Treatment Estimating Routine), which was used to estimate costs of water treatment processes for S&T project 1877. The WaTER model is an excel-based cost estimating tool that calculates order-of-magnitude level costs for common drinking water treatment processes using user inputs, engineering equations, empirical cost curves, and cost indices. WaTER was originally developed by Reclamation’s Water Treatment group in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). In 2008 and 2011, the WaTER model was modified to add additional unit processes and updated cost indices. The model was further updated as part of this project to add an electrocoagulation tab and update the electrodialysis reversal tab to allow for three treatment stages. The file was used to generate data for S&T project 1877.
