SwaNET in action.
Six dimensions of watershed modeling — capabilities, applications, and coupled subsurface integration. All on real basins.
Coming soon. Recorded sessions for this dimension of SwaNET are being prepared and will appear here as they're ready.
Title
Lead sentence.
More detail.
SwaNET is a computational steering system for watersheds — fuse the data, run the engine, read the water-and-quality balance, and refine. Adjust assumptions and watch the basin respond, all in one loop.

SwaNET · Capabilities
What makes SwaNET different
Geometric inputs from the global base map. Auto-delineation. SWAT solving in real time. Genetic-algorithm calibration. Sankey water balance. The features that turn watershed modeling from a multi-month project into a same-day workflow. Nine recorded sessions covering the platform's distinctive features.

SwaNET · Built in SwaNET
End-to-end watershed projects
Watershed modeling projects that started inside SwaNET — drawing the basin, setting up the model, running the simulation, evaluating outcomes. Real basins, real workflows, recorded as they ran. Four recorded end-to-end project sessions.
-
SwaNET · From SWAT
SWAT community models, modernized
SWAT models from the community, opened in SwaNET. Decades of watershed modeling work, modernized onto a real-time engine with georeferenced data fusion and live visualization. The bridge from offline projects to interactive analysis. Four recorded import-and-modernize sessions.

SwaNET · U.S.
U.S. watersheds, fully modeled
Watershed modeling across U.S. basins — from Great Lakes tributaries to Western snowmelt regimes to coastal plains. The full range of American hydrology, modeled and recorded in SwaNET. Nine recorded U.S.-basin sessions.
-
SwaNET · Global
Watersheds on every continent
Watershed modeling on every continent. Tropical monsoon basins, arid drylands, alpine catchments, glacial systems. SwaNET on the global scale, with the global base model providing data wherever you draw the box. Ten recorded sessions from basins around the world.

SwaNET · Coupled with GW
Surface and subsurface, coupled live
Watersheds and aquifers coupled in real time. SwaNET handles surface water; IGW-NET handles groundwater; the two engines exchange boundary conditions live. Stream-aquifer interaction, baseflow generation, irrigation return flow — the full surface/subsurface continuum. One recorded session of the coupled engine in action — more arriving as the library builds out.
What you're looking at.
For decades, building a watershed model meant months of geometry preparation, soil and land-use formatting, weather generation, and SWAT input wrangling — before the first simulation ran. SwaNET inverts that. Topography, soils, land use, climate — pre-assembled. The model is ready. You start where the analysis begins.
Above, a library of recorded sessions covering six dimensions of watershed modeling — what makes SwaNET unique, projects built fresh, projects imported from the SWAT community, applications across the United States and worldwide, and the coupled surface/subsurface story with IGW-NET. Every simulation runs in real time. What you see is the watershed, solving.
