| Secondary Application Category: | calibration, sensitivity, and/or uncertainty analysis |
| Watershed Description: | Three watersheds, 1.53, 2.15, & 2.26 ha in size, that are located at the Agriculture Canada Stavely Range Substation in the Porcupine Hills region in southwestern Saskatchewan, Canada. |
| Calibration Summary: | Selected days (1998); r2 & E = 0.85 & 0.77 |
| Validation Summary: | Selected days (1999-2000); r2 & E = 0.72 & 0.70 |
| General Comments: | Soil water profiles were predicted with SWAT for three small watersheds described as ungrazed, grazed, & heavily grazed. SWAT was judged to perform satisfactorily for all 3 watersheds and to have great potential for monitoring soil water resources. |
