Jul 1, 2026

July 2026 performance summary for watertap (watertap-org/watertap). Delivered a unified costing framework for the Seawater RO desalination flowsheet, aligning costing with USD 2023, streamlining initialization and metric calculation, and updating UI export and docs to reflect the new architecture. No major bugs reported this month. This work reduces financial ambiguity, improves forecast accuracy, and accelerates onboarding by providing a single, coherent costing instance across the SWRO flowsheet. Technical enhancements include backend refactor to consolidate costing packages, currency standardization, UI/export refactor, and code quality improvements via linting and cleanup. Technologies demonstrated: Python architecture refactoring, API/UI integration, documentation, and automated formatting with Black.
