SWB

Soil Water Balance

Soil Water Balance (SWB) is a groundwater model designed to simulate the spatial and temporal changes in groundwater recharge for a specific region.

Developer
University of Wisconsin
Model Information
For more information about this model, go to www.usgs.gov,soil%2Dmoisture%2Dbalance%20approach.
Spatial Resolution
The variable spatial grid define by the GIS layers used.
Temporal Resolution
Daily time steps are used in the model. Simulation durations are on the order of years.
Outputs
Model outputs include spatial distribution of groundwater recharged expected.
