WEAP a fost creat in 1988, in scopul de a fi un instrument de planificare flexibil, integrat si transparent pentru a evalua dezvoltarea durabila a cererii curente de apa si surselor de alimentare si obtierea unor scenarii alternative de-a lungul unei perioade de timp.

Prima aplicatie WEAP s-a realizat in Marea Aral in 1989 cu sponsorizarea din noul format Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI). SEI a continuat sa sustina dezvoltatea programului WEAP prin Centru din Statele Unite (SEI-US), care s-a instalat in 1989 si gazduit de catre Tellus Institute pana in 2006. Dea lungul timpului s-a aplicat WEAP pe bazine hidrografice al tarilor si raurilor. Programul a fost distribuit in intraga lume planificatorilor resurselor de apa .
