However‚ a 2015 article called “Model life: to call it indentured servitude is no exaggeration” by Rose Hackman states that’s

SPIRAL MODEL The spiral model combines the idea of iterative development (prototyping) with the systematic‚ controlled aspects of the waterfall model. It allows for incremental releases of the product‚ or incremental refinement through each time around the spiral. The spiral model also explicitly includes risk management within software development. Identifying major risks‚ both technical and managerial‚ and determining how to lessen the risk helps keep the software development process under control

SWAT model The SWAT model‚ a physically based model developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)‚ operates at a daily time step. This model has been developed on a physical‚ semi-distributive‚ scale-basin basis for continuous time and with emphasis on soil surface processes. SWAT’s sub-watersheds are divided into hydrological response units (HRUs) that have unique combinations of slope‚ land use‚ and soil type within the sub-basin and form the basic land segment for computing flow
