H004 - Advancements in Watershed Modeling: Hydrologic/WQ Processes and Management Implementations on Regulatory Science

Since 2016, this modeling session has been initiated to provide broad discussions among international scientists from different disciplines. Specifically, contributions from the SWAT community are fruitful with great success. We hope mutual efforts in this session can advocate advanced insights for future investigation on both modeling development and the associated management strategies along with interactions from the government authorities. See you in Chicago!

The 2021 AGU Fall Meeting in New Orleans, LA will take place 13-17 December. We would like to bring the following session to your attention: 

H019 - Advances in Watershed Modeling: Hydrologic & Water Quality Processes and Conservation Management for Food-Water-Energy Nexus  

Since 2016, this modeling session has been initiated to provide broad discussions among international scientists from different disciplines. Specifically, contributions from the SWAT community are fruitful with great success. We hope mutual efforts in this session can advocate advanced insights for future investigation on both modeling development and the associated management strategies.

2020 AGU Fall Meeting

1 July 2020

The 2020 AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco, CA will take place 7-11 December. We would like to bring the following session to your attention: 

H016 - Advances in Watershed Modeling: Hydrologic & Nutrient Processes, Conservation Management, Food Production, Energy Consumption and Model Coupling
Haw Yen (Texas A&M University), Jeffrey G Arnold (USDA-ARS), Wei Ouyang (Beijing Normal University), and Yongping Yuan (USEPA)

This is the 5th year (since 2016) that we have a watershed modeling session in the AGU Fall Meetings. The proposed session has been a very successful platform for discussions in challenging environmental modeling subjects. The meetings will be conducted mostly virtually (due to COVID-19) and the corresponding registration fee is 50% off than regular rate. The deadline of abstract submission this year is July 29 and we hope to make it more visible in the SWAT community.

Call for Abstracts

10 September 2018

An integrated modeling workshop, sponsored by Cornell University and Iowa State University, will be held at the David R Atkinson Center, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY during April 3-5, 2019. The workshop organizers are Dave Keiser (Iowa State University), Cathy Kling (Cornell University) and Dan Phaneuf (University of Wisconsin, Madison). Abstracts are being solicited that describe integration of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), Agricultural Policy/Environmental eXtender (APEX) and/or other ecohydrological or environmental models, with economic models or other types of models. Accepted abstracts will also be considered for a special issue of Land Economics. Additional details regarding the topics of interest and abstract submission process.

SWAT training, communicate, from 5-7 October 2017, Hammamet, Tunisie

5 October 2017

From 5th to 7th October 2017, a SWAT training given by Dr José-Miguel Sanchez-Pérez (CNRS, Toulouse, France), Dr Sabine Sauvage (CNRS, Toulouse, France), Dr Didier Orange (IRD, Montpellier, France) and PhD Walid Ben Khélifa (INRGREF, Tunis, Tunisie), on “Introductory SWAT Course” has been delivered for 16 researchers, students and engineers as side-event of the international seminar “Colloque-Formation international Eau-Société-Climat’2017” (ESC-2017), organized by Prof. Noureddine Gaaloul (INRGREF, Tunis, Tunisia) at Hammamet, Tunis (Tunisia) from 2nd to 7th October, co-funding by PHI-UNESCO (FRIEND-Water network), INRGREF, IRESA and IRD, with the key support from ASTEE-Tunisie.

During the SWAT training, 8 countries from West Africa were represented (Algeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroun, Ivory Coast, Morocco, Niger and Tunisia), 20% from Maghreb (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia). This international cooperation South-South-North has opened a large numbers of research opportunities on River Basin Management, Hydrology and Ecohydrology.
