Concise description:
SWAP (Soil, Water, Atmosphere and Plant) simulates transport of water, solutes and heat in unsaturated/saturated soils.
The model is designed to simulate flow and transport processes at field scale level, during growing seasons and for long term time series.
It offers a wide range of possibilities to address both research and practical questions in the field of agriculture, water management and environmental protection.
