In the recent years human activities and climate change affected the hydrological cycle under the shifting environmental conditions worldwide and dispersed hydrological modelling based on practical methods have become the key topic for hydrological research. There are so many hydrological tools are developed to predict the future patterns by analyzing the historical data. Soil & Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model is one of the distinctive distributed hydrological models which has been extensively used in hydrological research and to predict the future streamflow of rivers and sediment flow and agricultural production. This paper aims to analyze the research progress based on Soil & Water Assessment Tool in recent years. This paper focused on some prevailing glitches, sought the future research areas, and anticipated model enhancement to acclimate to the local environmental variations. This study should be beneficial to beginners in the field of SWAT modelling and also should be valuable for future development of SWAT models. It will also provide reference for users of SWAT modelling in related subject.
