This course develops the key concepts to understand hydrological modeling using SWAT+ and QGIS, introductory topics will be addressed and a pre-established model to understand the operation of SWAT +, the procedure for the processing of data required in a hydrological model will also be explained.

Trainer

Saul Montoya M.Sc. 

Saul Montoya M.Sc. is a Hydrogeologist and Numerical Modeler. Mr. Montoya is a Civil Engineer graduated from the Catholic University in Lima with postgraduate studies in Management and Engineering of Water Resources (WAREM Program) from Stuttgart University – Germany with mention in Groundwater Engineering and Hydroinformatics. Mr Montoya has a strong analytical capacity for the interpretation, conceptualization and modeling of the surface and underground water cycle and their interaction. 

He is in charge of numerical modeling for contaminant transport and remediation systems of contaminated sites. Inside his hydrological and hydrogeological investigations Mr. Montoya has developed a holistic comprehension of the water cycle, understanding and quantifying the main hydrological dynamic process of precipitation, runoff, evaporation and recharge to the groundwater system. 

Over the last 9 years Saul has developed 2 websites for knowledge sharing in water resources: www.gidahatari.com (Spanish) and www.hatarilabs.com (English) that have become relevant due to its applied tutorials on groundwater modeling, spatial analysis and computational fluid mechanics.

Session 02: Components of SWAT+ Part I

A review of the climatic variables that allows evaluating the changes of the hydrological cycle at the scale of the hydrographic sub-basin at the level of SWAT and source data structure management will be addressed.

Session 04: Components of SWAT+ Part III

Based on the pre-established model, the climatic data that are necessary inputs for the simulation will be reviewed. The results will also be displayed using the tools that SWAT + has.
