Dear all. 


I would like to share a work of mine that can be useful for those who would want an organized way of evaluating calibration and validation success of their SWAT model. 

SWAT Calibration Helper v1.0 is a customized VBA coded Microsoft Excel file. It is designed with the aim of incorporating as much functionality as possible to help researchers during calibration of flow of ANY hydrological model including SWAT. However, it has additional components built specifically for SWAT model output for further analysis of model response. Screenshot is attached for reference.

The file also has lot of useful information (tips) for hydrological modeling including basics such as 1) what to do for various conditions of hydrograph mismatch, 2) interpretation of model statistics, as well as the information regarding 3) where to look for the SWAT model parameters in SWAT. The program is easy to use with steps to be followed included as well as a VIDEO TUTORIAL in the supplementary section.

Following is the link to access the Excel file (takes you to my research gate profile page) -

Good Luck.

Pallav,

I went to the researchgate link you included in your message, but the only files available for download are the screenshot and a tutorial video, not the Excel file. Can you let me know how I can download the tool? Thank you.

Dear Pallav,
I tried the tool with Excel2016.
After copying my data and change the graph controls to validation period I have obtained an error message and If I select debug it redirects me to a specific auto adjusting option of the graph it self. Print screen are included. Any suggestion?
Best regards,
Salvatore

Hi Salvatore,

Yes, I was going to point out the same to you. Good debugging!

Dear Monica,

Kindly note the download button as shown in the screenshot. I am assuming you have already solved this.

Dear Monica,

I am modeling streamflow and sediment yield of huge Basin in Ethiopia using SWAT model. In doing so, I have to calibrate the model to optimize some hydrology and sediment parameters. I am doing that. Would you please send me Swat calibration helper Execel Macro v 1.0, and the tutorial vedeo. I couldn't download online.

With Best Regards,
Hassen Mohammed.

Dear Hassen,


The the file (SWAT Calibration Helper v1.0) is attached with this post.

The video tutorial is available outside of Research Gate on YouTube. Following is the link -


If it helps you don't forget to cite the program in your work.



Cheers!

Try joining Research Gate and log in, in order to download files. 
I also could not download the Excel file until I logged in to my Research Gate account.

Hi Friends,

Upon surging requests for a monthly run based SCH, I have finished programming a "monthly version" of it. FInd it in my research gate profile via the following link - https://www.researchgate.net/publication/317345023_SWAT_Calibration_Helper_-_Monthly_v10 Cheers! Pallav
