| Watershed Description: | 22,753 km^2 plain region, which covers 48 counties in Hebei Province and is a subregion of the Haihe River basin, China. |
| Calibration Summary: | |
| Validation Summary: | |
| General Comments: | A groundwater-module-enhanced SWAT is applied to a typical well-irrigated plain.
The model is calibrated and validated in detail by using abundant groundwater data.
Same methodology allows the SWAT to make full use of groundwater assessment results.
Agro-hydrological processes including both soil water and groundwater are simulated.
Groundwater sustainability is estimated based on distributed hydrological simulation. |
