| Model: | SWAT |
| Broad Application Category: | hydrologic and pollutant |
| Primary Application Category: | model and/or data interface |
| Secondary Application Category: | pollutant cycling/loss and transport |
| Watershed Description: | 192 8-digit watersheds (hydrologic cataloguing units or HCUs), which contain agricultural production areas and are partly or completely located in Texas, U.S. |
| Calibration Summary: | |
| Validation Summary: | |
| General Comments: | SWAT was interfaced with the Agricultural Sector Model (ASM) to provide both environmental and economic output for large regional studies, including the entire U.S. An example is described regarding the impacts of introducing 5 crop varieties in Texas, which includes maps showing changes in sediment, N, & P loss at the 8-digit watershed level. Also note that the lead-author's name "Attwood" should have been Atwood, but it is misspelled in the journal. |
