Hi all, could you please tell me SWAT+ is still developed? is it completed? 

Is it possible to use SWAT+ and SWAT+ toolbox officially for a project? 

or is it better to use SWAT and SWAT-CUP instead of SWAT+ and SWAT+ Toolbox?

I can see most project still use SWAT and SWAT-CUP, do you know disadvantage of SWAT+ and SWAT+ Toolbox?

Thank you

Natalja C.

Hello,
SWAT+ always (for the upcoming years, anyway) will be enhanced. Define "development", as there are always new releases and updates.
Yes, it is possible to use SWAT+ and any tool to set-up and calibrate your model. Define "officially"? :) You can find the latest version of the tools on the official site: https://swat.tamu.edu/software/plus/
No one can tell you what is better, it all depends on your are of interest, case study, data, timing, etc.

I can see that most projects are using SWAT+. Probably most older projects use swat2012 and are now being published. 
One disadvantage of SWAT+ is the limited documentation, which will be remedied quite soon.

Hope this information helps!
Best,
Natalja

thank you for your information. Could you please advise me what is the best way to run climate change/land use scenarios with swat plus. after calibration in swat+ toolbox I do not see option to run with new climate data (i.e with my rainfall series increase 20%). if back to qswat+ parameter list is not the same in the toolbox to fill in best parameter?

Thanks

Hello,
I do not work with the toolbox, hence I have no idea how the parameters have been changed. Usually it is a matter of one file.
The way I see it, you will have to work with the text files.
Modify the climate files, print file and/or use DTs for that. 
All the best,
Natalja
