SWAT team gets Swiss attention

Dr. Manuel Reyes of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Design joined with Philip Gassman of Iowa State University to present a “Review of Peer-Reviewed Literature on the SWAT [Soil and Water Assessment Tool] Model” at the third international conference devoted to SWAT in Zurich, Switzerland, in mid-July. SWAT is a computer modeling tool developed by USDA and is used to project the impact of land use management on soil as well as water quality. Among the state and federal agencies that now turn to SWAT is the Environmental Protection Agency, which has SWAT on its list of modeling tools predicting nonpoint source pollution for the 20,000 or more water bodies in the United States with poor water quality.
