Model: | SWAT-PDLD |
Broad Application Category: | hydrologic only |
Primary Application Category: | depressional (pothole, wetland or pond) effects and/or processes |
Secondary Application Category: | reservoirs, ponds, lakes and/or other impoundment effects |
Watershed Description: | 13000 km^2 subwatershed of the Assiniboine River and 9,230 km^2 Moose Jaw River, both of which are located in southern Saskatchewan, Canada. |
Calibration Summary: | |
Validation Summary: | |
General Comments: | The authors describe comparing the results of their modified SWAT code, which features an algorithm that represents the hydrology of depressional areas, with the standard SWAT pond routine (as a way of checking their results). |
