- Abstract:
-
The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a kind of distributed hydrologic model, it was developed by the USDA-ARS. In recent years, it is considered as one of the most suitable models for predicting long-term impacts of land management measures on water, sediment, and agricultural chemical yield (nutrient loss) in large complex watersheds with varying soils, land use, and management conditions. This paper introduced the principles and established the foundational database of SWAT, to collect the reference papers of the SWAT model (from 1999 to 2008) for statistical analysis, regarding to the application in the future.
