Soil and Water Assessment Tool
• Arnold et al. (1998), http://swat.tamu.edu/
• Predict the impact of land management practices on water quantity and quality in large complex watersheds
• Subdivision of the watershed into subwatersheds and Hydrologic Response Units (HRUs)
• Limited capability to identify critical source areas
1. Introduction

SWAT+
• Expected to facilitate– maintenance of code and input files– linkage of SWAT and other models– addition of new process subroutines
• Flexible spatial representation of interactions and processes within a watershed using “connect” files
• Routing of runoff, sediment and nutrients across the landscape
1. Introduction

Watershed delineation and stream definition
2. Input data and model setup
10 m DEM Resampling to 5 m
Processing using TauDEM
• Predefined watershed and streams?• Delineate riparian areas?

HRU definition
2. Input data and model setup
Land use SSURGO
Dominant soils
Land use digitized from aerial photosHydrologic Response Units
• Soil properties• Management schedules• Tile drains

“A major challenge of the ongoing evolution of the model will be meeting the desire for additional spatial complexity while maintaining ease of model use.” (Gassman et al. 2007)
HRU routing
4. Outlook
Challenges:1. Circular routing2. Roads
![Page 11: Swat modeling of nutrient bieger](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a66c3047f8b9a784d8b4967/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Implementation of BMPs
4. Outlook
Reduction efficiencies or simulation of processes?
Why use SWAT?• Identification of most effective combination of management
practices• Prediction of long‐term effects of management practices• Consideration of climate change?

Moving forward…
1. Spatial extent/parameterization of tile drains
2. Management schedules and plant growth
3. Soil parameterization
4. Calibration of water balance and streamflow
5. Calibration of nitrogen concentrations/loads
6. Implementation of BMPs in the model
7. HRU routing
