Model: | SWAT |
Broad Application Category: | hydrologic and pollutant |
Primary Application Category: | model and/or data comparison |
Secondary Application Category: | sediment loss and transport |
Watershed Description: | 5,000 km^2 Weisse Elster, located in central Germany. |
Calibration Summary: | |
Validation Summary: | |
General Comments: | Component and application issues (e.g., scale issues) are discussed for SWAT relative to other models and funtions (e.g., USLE equation). Example flows and sedment results are reported for SWAT. Models and functions were applied to one of four nested watersheds. Example SWAT output is reported. |
