Workshops

The SWAT development team collaborates with other agencies/firms to set up workshops around the globe. The focus and length of these workshops will vary depending on the goals of the agencies involved.

SWAT+ Beginner Workshops

This course introduces the next generation of the model, SWAT+. Using the QSWAT+ QGIS interface, we will set up our model and then review necessary and optional inputs through SWAT+ Editor. It is assumed that attendees have a working knowledge of QGIS and will not review basic concepts on QGIS usage prior to covering the SWAT+ interface.

SWAT+ Advanced Workshops

This course is designed for participants with prior experience in SWAT+ model development. It will focus on introducing SWAT+ Editor for land management setup (agricultural operations, reservoir operations, & point source setup) and SWAT+ toolbox for calibration-validation on both hydrology and water quality. The workshop will also cover an introduction to decision tables with example datasets for land management and reservoirs.

SWAT+ Curso Básico e Intermedio (in Spanish)

Aprende a utilizar SWAT+ (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) desde cero y desarrolla las habilidades necesarias para configurar, ejecutar y analizar modelos hidrológicos aplicados a cuencas reales.

¿Qué aprenderás paso a paso?

  • Aplicar el modelo hidrológico SWAT+ sin errores.
  • Preparar y organizar correctamente los datos de entrada.
  • Configurar y ejecutar simulaciones hidrológicas.
  • Calibrar el modelo tanto de forma manual como automática.
  • Visualizar y analizar los resultados de forma profesional.

SWAT Beginner Workshops

Our beginner courses are designed to introduce new users to the model, review necessary and optional inputs, and familiarize the user with the interface. It is assumed that attendees have a working knowledge of GIS and will not review basic concepts on GIS usage prior to covering the SWAT interface. This workshop may be offered for ArcSWAT (ArcGIS) or QSWAT (QGIS).

Advanced Workshops

The advanced workshop will cover sensitivity analysis, model calibration, and uncertainty analysis using SWAT. Time will also be devoted to discussion of participant's individual model issues (e.g. model setup, scenarios, calibration, and validation).

Upcoming Workshops
