Dear DSSAT users:

Please note that the SWBM tool developed by Joep Luijten has been updated
and can be downloaded from the ICASA web page.  If there are any
DSSAT/ICASA tools you have developed and would like to share with the DSSAT
community via the ICASA web site, please let me know.

Thanks,

GH



>Hello everyone,
>
>During the past year all of you contacted me about the SWBM and/or downloaded
>the model. An updated version (v1.2) of the model is now available at:
>http://www.icasanet.org/toolkit/swbm.html
>(you will have to download the entire zipfile--which includes the sample data
>for two watersheds-- but you only have to replace the .Apr and .Avx files on
>your system)
>
>I have fixed numerous bugs, most of which resulted in runtime errors and made
>it impossible to continue the simulation. I also rewrote some Avenue code to
>better check the integrity of input data and increase the execution of some
>modules. There is not new model functionality
>
>Also, an article that describes an application of the model will appear in the
>next issue of Agricultural Systems:
>Luijten, J.C., Knapp., E.B., Jones, J.W., 2001. A tool for assessing the
>implications of development on water security in hillside watersheds. Agric.
>Syst. 70 (2-3): 603-622.
>
>Thank you for the feedback you provided. Please keep informing me of any
>problems that you may experience with the model; only then am I able to fix
>bugs. I am also interested in hearing about succesfull applications of the
>model elsewhere.
