| Watershed Description: | 610 km^2 Little Washita (southwest Oklahoma); calibration and/or validation performed for subwatersheds 526 (160 km^2), 522 (537.7 km^2), & 560 (610 km^2) |
| Calibration Summary: | Oct. 1992 - Sept. 2000 monthly/daily E values: 526 = .75/.60 550 = .71/.40 ---------------------------- |
| Validation Summary: | Jan. 1981 - Dec. 1985 monthly/daily E values: 526 = .83/.71 522 = .45/.-06 ---------------------------- May 1963 - April 1968 monthly/daily E values: 522 = .65/.55 ---------------------------- Jan. 1975 - Dec. 1979 monthly/daily E values: 522 = .86/.59 |
| General Comments: | Calibration with SWAT was performed for two subwatersheds and validation was performed on a third subwatershed for a range of climatic conditions. Dry, average, and wet results show that once the model was calibrated for for wet conditions, the model performed well for all conditions. |
