| Secondary Application Category: | pollutant cycling/loss and transport |
| Watershed Description: | 4554 km^2 West Fork River, a tributary of the Trinity River that drains to Lake Bridgeport in north central Texas, U.S. |
| Calibration Summary: | 1982-2001 annual r2/E values: Jacksboro = .88/.84 Boyd = .86/.78 ----------------------------1982-2001 monthly r2/E values: Jacksboro = .61/.12 Boyd = .81/.72 |
| Validation Summary: | |
| General Comments: | Calibration was performed at two sites with gauges: Jodestora and Boyd. Results of pre-BMP and post-BMP scenarios performed with SWAT are presented for sediment, total N, and total P reductions at both the farm and whole watershed levels. The BMP scenarios represent several BMPs implemented via actual water quality management plans (NQMPs) in the watershed. |
