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

The SWAT+ Beginner Workshop is designed for new SWAT+ users or anyone who would like a guided introduction to building a SWAT+ model.

This workshop will focus on the basic steps of model development using QSWAT+ and SWAT+ Editor. The training is mostly hands-on, with time for questions and interaction with instructors.

Recommended background:
Participants should have basic familiarity with QGIS, including opening map layers, zooming, panning, and selecting features.

SWAT+ Advanced Workshops

The SWAT+ Advanced Workshop is designed for participants who already have experience developing SWAT+ models and want to learn more advanced tools and workflows.

This workshop will focus on land management setup, decision tables, reservoirs, point sources, and model calibration and validation using SWAT+ Editor and SWAT+ Toolbox.

Recommended background:
Participants should have prior experience with SWAT+ model development. This workshop builds on the skills covered in the beginner workshop.
