| Watershed Description: | 1.8 million km^2 Missouri River, which drains much of the northern Great Plains region in the west central part of the U.S. |
| Calibration Summary: | |
| Validation Summary: | |
| General Comments: | Two 2xCO2 climate change scenarios were performed with SWAT by using the CISRO GCM by itself and downscaling the GLM projections with the RegCM regional climate model. Increased water yield as compared to the baseline were predicted for both scenarios, but the increase using RegCM was the largest and was significantly different compared to the GCMonly approach. |
