2012 International SWAT Conference & Workshops, New Delhi, India

The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a public domain model jointly developed by USDA Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) and Texas AgriLife Research, part of The Texas A&M University System.

SWAT is a river basin-scale model to simulate the quality and quantity of surface and ground water and predict the environmental impact of land management practices on different soil patterns and land use patterns.  

SWAT is widely used in assessing soil erosion prevention and control, non-point source pollution control and regional management in watersheds.
