SWAT-DEG to SWATlite

10 August 2015

SWAT-DEG is a simplified version of SWAT2012. Originally developed by Peter Allen (Peter_Allen@baylor.edu) and Jeff Arnold (Jeff.Arnold@ars.usda.gov), it  greatly simplifies hydrology and plant growth and does not simulate nutrients, concentrating on gulley formation and stream degradation (deepening and widening). Because of its rapid execution time and simplified input requirements, it is finding a number of previously unanticipated applications. As a result, SWAT-DEG has been renamed SWATlite and will soon be available on the SWAT web site. Contact Drs. Allen or Arnold for more information.
