| Model: | SWAT |
| Broad Application Category: | hydrologic and pollutant |
| Primary Application Category: | pesticide, antibiotic and/or PFAS fate and transport |
| Secondary Application Category: | calibration, sensitivity, and/or uncertainty analysis |
| Watershed Description: | 32 km^2 Nil River, located in central Belgium. |
| Calibration Summary: | Daily (Nov. 1998 to Nov. 2001) E = .53 |
| Validation Summary: | |
| General Comments: | A sensitivity analysis was performed by taking Latin Hypercube (LH) samples as initial points in a One-Factor-At-a-Time (OAT) design, to determine dominant hydrologic parameters. Sensitivity analyses were performed to determine which parameters affect pesticide output variance the most. Hydrologic parameters were found to have the greatest effect, and application timing had more impact than application rate. |
