| General Comments: | SWAT was used in a minor way in this study, as stated by the authors: "Based on SWAT model (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) simulation results (see below footnote 13 for details), it was determined that enough ground water was available to satisfy irrigation needs for all four alternative scenarios." The authors also state that SWAT results are noted in the footnote of the table in Appendix E.1 and http://ilssi.tamu.edu/media/1333/final-bdz-robit-ex-ante-analysis-of-ssi-scenarios.pdf. However, as of February 24, 2023 the link to the pdf document is not working. |
