Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT)

The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a computer model used to simulate how water, sediment, and pollutants move across landscapes, particularly in agricultural and rural areas. It helps scientists and decision-makers understand the impact of land use, management practices, and climate on soil and water quality. By analyzing different scenarios, SWAT aids in developing effective strategies for watershed management, promoting sustainable agriculture, and protecting natural resources. Ultimately, it helps balance environmental health with economic activities, ensuring a better future for both ecosystems and communities.
