| Broad Application Category: | hydrologic only |
| Primary Application Category: | climate change assessment |
| Secondary Application Category: | Hyrologic Unit Model of the U.S. (HUMUS) application |
| Watershed Description: | 18 Major Water Resource Regions (MWRRs), that comprise the conterminous U.S. |
| Calibration Summary: | |
| Validation Summary: | Overall r2 = .94 based on annual average water yields at MWRR outlets ---------------------------- annual average r2 values ranged from .04 to .81 at the 8-digit watershed level |
| General Comments: | SWAT within HUMUS was executed for the 18 MWRRs that together consist of 2101 8-digit watersheds. Flow validation resultsare reported at both the 8-digit and MWRR levels. These simulations serve as the baseline for comparing the climate change scenario impacts against that are reported in parts 4 (& 5?) of the study. Validation of EPIC crop yield predictions are also reported? |
