SWATlite for the World

17 August 2015

Because of SWATlite’s simplified input requirements and speed of execution, it is being used to simulate subbasin hydrology and soil erosion for the entire world. Preliminary runs for the major continents have already been executed, and the project can serve as a foundation for more complex analyses using the complete full SWAT model. Contact Dr. Srinivasan (r-srinivasan@tamu.edu) for more information.
