Conteúdo: | The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is becoming a familiar tool for some Brazilian students, professors and professionals. The model has been applied for several hydrological studies and evaluations under Brazilian conditions. This research was carried out with the objective of identifying the SWAT model applications in Brazilian watersheds, its strengths, and its weaknesses. Over 70 publications such as theses, dissertations and articles about the use of the model in Brazilian watersheds were analyzed. From these, 60 are referred to in this paper. Despite the significant variability of climates and hydrological behaviors of the modeled watersheds, the results provided by the papers demonstrate that the model had good performance in several Brazilian regions. Based on the papers? results, it is also possible to identify that the SWAT performance in Brazilian watersheds permits its use as a support decision tool for municipalities, state companies, federal institutions, basin committees, and environmental organizations. However, there are very few reports about using the SWAT as a practical assessment tool in Brazil. Furthermore, there is some evidence that the hindrance to use SWAT in Brazil is not whether the model can be used here or not, but how to obtain enough quantity and quality data to simulate a basin.
