Watershed Description: | 81 km^2 Dietzhölze River, located roughly 30 km northwest of Giessen, Germany. |
Calibration Summary: | daily (Nov. 1, 1990 to August 1, 1993) E values: SWAT-G = 0.76 SWAT99.2 = -0.17 |
Validation Summary: | |
General Comments: | Paper describes the SWAT-G adaptation, which was derived from SWAT99.2. The watershed soils & slope conditions result in subsurface interflows similar to the fragipan soils described in Peterson & Hamlett (1998). SWAT-G matched average daily flow almost exactly; SWAT99.2 underpredicted average daily flow by 50%. Shuffled Complex Evolution (SCE) automatic calibration was also used in the study. |
