Abstract

SWAT is a continuous time river basin scale model developed to assess the impact of land management practices in large, complex watersheds. SWAT components include weather, hydrology, sediment/erosion, nutrients, pesticide, plant growth, land use management, channel routing, and reservoir/pond routing. SWAT is a continuation of over 30 years of modeling efforts. SWAT combines features of several United States Agricultural Research Service (ARS) models. Because of the potential of SWAT for TMDL development, usefulness of SWAT in teaching soil and water processes, and acceptance of SWAT by many in the international and national modeling community, North Carolina A&T State University (A&T) will be engaged as an instructional, research and extension arm for SWAT. The objective of this paper is to describe how this will be done.
