| Watershed Description: | Lake Pusiano drainage area, located in the subalpine region of northern Italy. |
| Calibration Summary: | |
| Validation Summary: | |
| General Comments: | The authors report that SWAT was previously calibrated and validated for a drainage area representing 58% of the study watershed, resulting in a R^2 of 0.74, as reported in: Salerno, F. and G. Tartari. 2009. A coupled approach of surface hydrological modelling and wavelet analysis for understanding the baseflow components of river discharge in karst environments.
