SWAT
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN SARDINIA - in progress
QSWAT course information
Teacher
Chris George
This course is designed to introduce new users to the SWAT model, review necessary and optional inputs, and familiarize the user with the QGIS interfaces. It is not assumed that attendees have a working knowledge of QGIS, but they will benefit more from the course if they have some experience of it, as it is not an aim of the course to teach its use. Attendees who can bring their own laptop should install QGIS (the 32-bit Windows stand-alone installer) in advance. Note that the 64-bit version should not be used: it will not work with QSWAT.
