- Background
-
The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a public domain model jointly developed by USDA Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) and Texas A&M University System (TAMUS). 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 soil erosion prevention and control, non-point source pollution control and regional management in watersheds.
In order to promote the development and application of SWAT in China and international communities, Beijing Normal University (BNU) successfully held its First International SWAT Workshop in China on November 5-7, 2006. In cooperation with USDA-ARS and TAMUS, the SWAT International Conference will be organized by the School of Environment, Beijing Normal University on October 15-19, 2008.
