WaterStrategy isn't required to run a Pywr model; it is there to help make it easier to use Pywr models. If you have a Pywr model input file (they are called 'JSON' files), and you have the required Python and Pywr libraries installed on your computer, you can run your Pywr model without WaterStrategy (Note: Python skills are required). Equally, if you have an existing Pywr model (a JSON file), you can import it into WaterStrategy.
This page shows how to export models from WaterStrategy into a Pywr JSON files and how to import existing Pywr models (JSON files) into WaterStrategy
