Model: | ESWAT |
Broad Application Category: | hydrologic and pollutant |
Primary Application Category: | sub-daily hydrologic and/or pollutant processes |
Secondary Application Category: | in-stream and/or channel processes |
Watershed Description: | 1,384 km^2 Dender River, located in Belgium. |
Calibration Summary: | daily (1986-87) E = .86 ---------------------------- graphical flow calib./valid. results shown; graphical DO, BOD, ammonia, and nitrate simulated vs. measured results shown for both manual and autocalibration approaches shown |
Validation Summary: | daily (1988-89) E = .86 |
General Comments: | Components of ESWAT are described including QUAL2E-based in-stream water quality functions, modified weather inputs (including sub-daily rainfall), modified infiltration routine, and an autocalibration tool based on the Shuffled-Complex Evolution method (modifications relative to standard SWAT model). An overview of in-stream processes is provided. |
