A tool to quickly view and analyze outputs from a SWAT model
Map legend is finally here! It's located just below the variable list. It also allows to configure the colors. Simply double-click the legend and the thematic map setting window will pop up . The settings include four (4) options for now. Check Use next time? check box to save the settings to be used next …
The basic processes to make the modified SWAT version work with SWAT Output Viewer has been covered in previous video. Many users wants to have a more detailed, step-by-step tutorial video so they could follow along to compile the viewer-compatible version themselves. So here it is. Software Required Source Tree to clone GitHub repository and merge …
Observed data could be loaded to SWAT Output Viewer to be compared with the simulation results evaluate the model performance. This video talked about how to load the observed data to before you could use them in the model performance evaluation. You only need to load the observed data once. The observed data is shared …
The SWAT model is ready to run after opened in SWAT Viewer. There are two options for the simulation run: simulation engine and output time step. The simulation engine could be any of the standard SWAT version or a customized version. The output time step could be daily, monthly or yearly. In SWAT Viewer, these …
QSWAT and MWSWAT is very similar in terms of interface design although they are programmed with different programming languages and in different GIS platform. In this video, these two SWAT tools are compared side-by-side to demonstrate the similarity. The guess is they are from the same development team. MWSWAT is developed first and QSWAT follows …
Most of the SWAT users use ArcSWAT, QSWAT or MWSWAT to create their models. The SWAT projects created with these tools could be opened directly in SWAT viewer. If you uses other tools, you could also manually create a SWAT project and open in SWAT viewer. In this video, I will talk about how to …
There are many ways to see SWAT outputs. Spatial visualization shows the model results on a map. It will clearly show how the selected results are distributed across subbasins or reaches. It’s very useful to pinpoint the hotspots in the watershed. In this video, we will talk about how to do the spatial visualization with …
The SWAT Viewer supports any modified SWAT versions so you can analyze the results and compare with other versions. This video shows you the steps to add your own modified version to the viewer. The viewer version code is not on Github for now. Please feel free to contact me. I will be more than …
A great thing about SWAT is that it's open source. The algorithms could be modified to best fit the study areas. For a modified version, it's important to demonstrate the effectiveness by comparing with the base version. The SWAT Viewer gives you all the tools to compare any two version in different angles. In this …
In some research, the SWAT models are created differently. Only the model input files and some of the shapefiles are available. In this case, you could manually create the swat project and use the SWAT viewer. The video will show you how to do that. For the subbasin and reach shapefile, make sure the subbasin …
