Model: | SWAT |
Broad Application Category: | hydrologic and pollutant |
Primary Application Category: | pollutant cycling/loss and transport |
Secondary Application Category: | model and/or data comparison |
Watershed Description: | 51.3 km^2 Walnut Creek and 88.2 km^2 Buck Creek, located respectively in central and east central Iowa, U.S. |
Calibration Summary: | |
Validation Summary: | |
General Comments: | Results of predicted pollutant loss for both SWAT and EPIC are presented for both watersheds. The primary focus is on SWAT and the authors state that SWAT is more suitable for watershed-level analysis. Three land use scenarios were performed that were described as "biodiversity", "production", and "water quality." No calibration or validation results reported. |
