Watershed Description: | 92.5 km^2 Nagwan River, located in the Hazaribagh District in northeast India. |
Calibration Summary: | |
Validation Summary: | Monthly (1991-98) during monsoon season: flow r2 = .80 sediment r2 =.81 |
General Comments: | Generated monthly average rainfall was in close agreement with measured rainfall for 1981-98. The predicted runoff and sediment loss using generated weather also agreed well with measured data for 1991-98. The authors concluded that generated rainfall could be used in SWAT for long-term planning. |
