Workshop Comments
The SWAT workshop is designed to be approximately 80% hands-on. We provide computers for attendees to use (1-2 persons per computer) and limit the class size to provide an opportunity for as much one-on-one interaction as possible.
It is assumed that attendees have a working knowledge of ArcGIS. We will not review basic concepts of ArcGIS usage prior to covering the SWAT/ArcGIS interface.
As part of the workshop we will go through the calibration and validation of flow and nutrients.
