The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (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, Climate change on the water resources. 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.
IIT Madras in Collaboration with the USDA-ARS and Texas AgriLife Research, is organizing the 2018 SWAT International Workshop and Conference on January 8 - 12, 2018. The conference has become the most important annual gathering for international experts and institutions in the field of river basin management. Hence, we encourage presentation of significant works in the conference topics using SWAT and / or other models.
