| Model: | SWIM |
| Broad Application Category: | hydrologic and pollutant |
| Primary Application Category: | pollutant cycling/loss and transport |
| Secondary Application Category: | calibration, sensitivity, and/or uncertainty analysis |
| Watershed Description: | 96,000 km^2 Elbe River; portion that is located in eastern Germany. |
| Calibration Summary: | |
| Validation Summary: | Daily (3-5 year period) for 5 subwatersheds: E = .68 - .85 ---------------------------- seasonal nitrate r2 = .95 |
| General Comments: | Provides a detailed description of the development of the SWIM model. Graphical comparisons between measured and simulated streamflows are presented. Graphical results are also shown for various nitrogen cycling components and sediment yield. Graphical sensitivity results are also shown. |
