General Comments:The authors state on page 86 that "The GIS software ArcView 3.2, specifically its watershed-modeling Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) extension, was employed for riverbed modeling purposes." They do not provide any further description of the SWAT application but do show hydrologic results that are at least partially based on SWAT output. They cite Estrada and Quintero (2003) for previous SWAT work, who may describe more of the application methodology.
