    Abstract


    With nearly 5,000 publications in the world and more than 100 publications in Vietnam, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is clearly one of the most extensively used ecological, hydrological models worldwide. Model capability assessment, land use/land cover change, and climate change assessment are the main SWAT applications that have been implemented in Vietnam since 1990s. The objectives ofthis paper are to: (1) introduce applications of SWAT model; (2) studies on SWAT model applications in Vietnam; and (3) challenges and potentials of SWAT model development in Vietnam. The results indicated that the challenges of the SWAT model’s applications in Vietnam including data unavailability and uncertainties which led to unreliable forecast results. Therefore, future studies should be paid attention to identifying and developing availability data and reliable input data for SWAT modeling. SWAT model modification based on the global climate model (GCM), geographical and land use conditions is another research direction to be considered in the future. In short, SWAT model is an effective tool for decision makers of land and water resources planning and management in the future.
