Hydrologic modeling with SWAT+ and Qgis (English version)

Understand hydrological models and their crucial role in today's water challenges. With increasing water deficit, drought, and the need for improved water management, understanding how precipitation, temperatures, and human activities impact hydrological sustainability is more important than ever.

This course provides practical skills in using the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model within QGIS. You'll learn to estimate key water balance parameters for a watershed or area of interest. Specifically, you'll gain proficiency in calculating evapotranspiration (water transpired by plants and evaporated from soils) and groundwater recharge (water percolating into the aquifer).

SWAT is a widely recognized and validated model, extensively used in scientific publications across environmental, earth, and engineering sciences. This ensures the reliability and significance of the insights you'll gain.

By the end of this course, you will be able to quantitatively analyze the hydrological behavior of any area – particularly those facing challenges like inadequate land use or low rainfall. You'll develop the ability to build your own hydrological models for academic and professional applications. This empowers you to contribute to informed decision-making, especially concerning communities impacted by climate change.
