+The **Soil and Water Integrated Flow Tool** ([SWIFT](https://swift.gitbook.io/docs)) is an open-source model for rapidly estimating sediment and nutrient loads from small watersheds in the United States. Built upon the foundation of the SWAT+ framework, SWIFT leverages readily available data—such as watershed size, land use, and geographic location—to generate load estimates along with distributions that capture the inherent uncertainties of the estimation process. It employs export coefficients originally derived from the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) and incorporates delivery ratios informed by the Conservation Effects and Assessment Project (CEAP). This approach makes SWIFT a practical tool for assessing non-point source pollution, soil erosion prevention, and the broader environmental impacts of land use and management practices.
