SWAT-MODFLOW Interface 0.1

SWAT-MODFLOW Interface is a specialized tool for coupling the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) with the MODFLOW groundwater flow model. It streamlines the setup, execution, and analysis of integrated surface water–groundwater simulations, enabling practitioners to evaluate watershed processes, conjunctive water use, and management scenarios within a single, coherent workflow.

Key capabilities:

• Integrated modeling: Links SWAT and MODFLOW to exchange recharge, baseflow, and stream–aquifer interactions for consistent water budgets.
• Guided setup: Helps import and organize GIS data (e.g., DEM, land use, soils), climate inputs, and MODFLOW grid and boundary conditions; supports parameter mapping across domains.
• Scenario analysis: Configure and compare land-use changes, climate variability, pumping schedules, and operational strategies; manage batch runs and side-by-side results.
• Calibration support: Compatible with common calibration and uncertainty workflows; provides time-series metrics and budget diagnostics to assess model performance.
• Visualization and outputs: Generates hydrographs, groundwater head maps, recharge distributions, and water-balance summaries; exports to standard tabular and GIS-friendly formats.
• Project management: Encourages reproducible modeling with organized project structures, run logs, and metadata.

Who it’s for:

• Hydrologists, water resource engineers, and researchers needing an integrated surface–groundwater modeling environment for watershed planning, groundwater sustainability assessments, drought studies, and environmental flow evaluations.
