SWAT: Soil & Water Assessment Tool


What is SWAT?
A sophisticated basin-scale computer model that predicts impacts of weather, soils, land use and land management on water supplies and pollution as well as  soil erosion, fertility and crop production.
This model contributes to understanding the complex ecosystem and its service to water availability, water quality; food vulnerability and food production; as well as socioeconomic demography issues worldwide.
The Soil and Water Assessment Tool, or SWAT model, is a public domain model developed by a group of scientists from the USDA-Agricultural Research Service; USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service, and Texas A&M University.
