| Model: | SWAT |
| Broad Application Category: | hydrologic and pollutant |
| Primary Application Category: | HRU, subbasin, grid and/or landscape unit delineation effects |
| Secondary Application Category: | BMP and/or cropping system assessment |
| Watershed Description: | 6.2 km^2 Dreisbach and 7.3 km^2 Smith Fry subwatersheds, which are tributaries of the 50 km^2 Black Creek (and larger Maumee River system) located in Allen County, northeastern Indiana, U.S. |
| Calibration Summary: | monthly stream flow r2/NSE values (1975-May 1977): Dreisbach=0.92/0.84, Smith Fry=0.86/0.73; monthly surface runoff r2/NSE values (1975-May 1977): Dreisbach=0.91/0.80, Smith Fry=0.84/0.62 |
| Validation Summary: | monthly stream flow r2/NSE values (June 1977-1978): Dreisbach=0.87/0.73, Smith Fry=0.81/0.63; monthly surface runoff r2/NSE values (June 1977-1978): Dreisbach=0.88/0.75, Smith Fry=0.84/0.63 |
