Programme
Introductory Workshop 30 May – 1 June (until lunch)
A two and half-day workshop designed to introduce new users to the model, review necessary and optional inputs, and familiarize the user with the QSWAT interface. It is assumed that attendees have a working knowledge QGIS/ArcGIS or comparable GIS software.
Day 1
- Welcome/introduction
- Model Overview (theory)
- Model applications (theory)
- Theory and Application of SWAT
- Introduction to QSWAT interface (GIS)
Day 2
- Watershed delineation
- Landuse and soil overlay
- HRU delineation
- Weather and remaining inputs to develop the SWAT model (including point sources)
- Review of summary outputs
- Finish SWAT simulation using QSWAT
Day 3
- Visualization and interpretation of SWAT outputs through GenScn
- Introduction of calibration and validation techniques
- Address user requests and answer questions
Advanced Workshop 1 June (after lunch) – 2 June
A one and half-day workshop that will cover sensitivity analysis, model calibration, and uncertainty analysis. The last day of training will be open to Questions & Answers. All participants are encouraged to bring their own dataset projects and conceptual modeling questions to the session.
Day 1 (start after lunch)
- Welcome/introductions
- SWAT-CUP tools
- Sensitivity and calibration/validation (theory)
- Model applications
Day 2
- Continue calibration/validation
- Uncertainty analysis
- Model applications
