SWAT is a hydrologic model developed by the USDA Agricultural Research Station in Temple, Texas in cooperation with Texas A&M University. Unlike most hydrologic models, SWAT models not only the movement of water, but movement of nutrients as well. As a result, it is a tool widely used to model watershed non-point sources for their contribution to water quality.
The NC Cooperative Extension Service has arranged for the SWAT team to come to North Carolina in order to hold training sessions. There is an introductory course to be held at NC A&T University in Winston-Salem on Monday, November 16th and Tuesday, November 17th. I will be attending this session. Advanced training is to be offered at NC State University on Thursday, November 19th and Friday, November 20th.
