Hi Hydro-Experts!
I got a mail from a friend (also a student) in which he is expressing an
interest about the SWAT model. I've read about the SWAT/GRASS interface
[1].
What's the practical status of using GRASS with respect to (a) this
model, (b) hydrological and soil modelling in general?
My warmest greetings, Nikos

Hi Nikos, There may be some here at UC Davis that are interested. I'll
forward this on to them.
One thing I have noticed about swat is that it uses very
annoying-to-parse soil description files. Hopefully they will switch
to something like XML in the future... I was thinking about writing an
R driver to parse the files, but since I do no directly use SWAT I
cannot justify the time.
Cheers,
Dylan

Forgot to reply to your question. I suppose that a GRASS interface
would allow you to pre-process your GIS data without an expensive
product that won't be named.

There is an open source interface for setting up and running SWAT: see http://www.waterbase.org.
It uses MapWindow GIS, not GRASS, but I suspect it would be fairly straightforward to move maps between the two.
I did some work a few years ago to partly revive SWAT/GRASS, but there did not seem to be much interest.
