Application of SWAT for impact assessment of land use/cover change and best management practices : a review.

Globally, the quantification and evaluation of land use and cover changes on the hydrological status of river basins is a main concern. There is an urgent need for technologies and models that can quantify the impact of land use change and management practices in an organized manner. Approach: Soil...
