| Watershed Description: | 0.6 km² Houay Pano drainage area, characterized by a sub-tropical humid climate and located south of the city of Luang Prabang in northwest Lao PDR. It is the experimental site of the Multi-Scale Environmental Changes (MSEC, http://msec.obs-mip.fr/) program in Lao PDR. |
| Calibration Summary: | Daily discharge: ENS = 0.66, R² = 0.66, PBIAS = +4.5%
Daily suspended sediment load: ENS = 0.45, R² = 0.46, PBIAS = 65.3%
Daily bacteria number: 456 < RMSE (MPN/100mL) < 2959 depending on the in-stream processes implemented. |
