| Model: | SWAT |
| Broad Application Category: | pollutant only |
| Primary Application Category: | model and/or data interface |
| Secondary Application Category: | BMP and/or cropping system assessment |
| Watershed Description: | 7,742 ha Goodwater Creek, located in north central Missouri, U.S. |
| Calibration Summary: | calibration was reported to have been performed in previous study |
| Validation Summary: | |
| General Comments: | SWAT was reported to have been calibrated in a previous study and to have generated reliable estimates for different pollutants including atrazine. An economic analysis was performed to assess the economic value of riparian buffers for different target in-stream atrazine concentrations. SWAT was used to estimate the impact of alternative management systems. Results are incorporated in the form of regression equation(s). Economic values and regression statistics are reported; no actual SWAT results are reported. |
