| General Comments: | This is the overview article for a special issue entitled "Hydrological Model Intercomparison for Climate Impact Assessment" that was published in volume 141(3) of Climatic Change. The special issue is not focused on SWAT applications specifically although several of the studies do describe applications of SWAT within the context of the special issue theme. SWAT was simulated for 7 of 12 river systems that were included in the overall study (see Tables 1 and 3). Note that the area for the portion of the Blue Nile River draining to the El Diem gauge was obtained from the supplementary material accessible at https://www.card.iastate.edu/admin/swat_articles/swat_edit.aspx?id=3197. |
