| General Comments: | Study focused on simulating irrigation impacts on summer low flow periods, within the context of climate change conditions represented y arbitrary changes in CO2, precipitation, & temperature. Irrigation practices were simulated in EPIC; edge-of-field flows from EPIC were routed through SWAT. An increase in the occurrence of low flow periodswas predicted among other results. |
