Watershed Description: | 92.5 km^2 Nagwan River, located in the Hazaribagh District in northeast India. |
Calibration Summary: | |
Validation Summary: | Daily (June - Oct. 1997): runoff r2/E = .91/ .87 sed. r2/E = .89/.89 org. N r2 = .82 org. P r2 = .86 nitrate r2 = .89 sol. P r2 = .82 ---------------------------- monthly (June - Oct. 1992-98) r2/E values: runoff = .97/.89 sediment = .98/.79 |
General Comments: | Validation of SWAT was performed during moonsoon season of 1997; calibration was performed in previous studies for runoff and sediment in 1991-92. Sediment, organic N, organic P, nitrate, and soluble P losses were estimated for all 12 subwatersheds during 1996-98, to identify "critical subwatersheds." |
