Watershed subdivision and weather input effect on streamflow simulation using SWAT model

Abstract

In watershed modeling research, it is practical to subdivide a watershed into smaller units or sub-watersheds for modeling purposes. The ability of a model to simulate the watershed system depends on how well watershed processes are represented by the model and how well the watershed system is described by model input. This study is conducted to evaluate the impact of watershed subdivision and different weather input datasets on streamflow simulations using the soil and water assessment tool model. For this purpose, Cuhai-Bakonyér watershed was chosen as a study area. Two climate databases and four subdivision variations levels were evaluated. The model streamflow predictions slightly effected by subdivision impact. The climate datasets showed significant differences in streamflow predictions.

Local and catchment-scale effects of water retention measures at Lake Velence

“…Consequently, a comprehensive, integrated water management approach at the catchment scale becomes critically important. The catchment can be divided into three sub-catchments [16]. This paper focuses on the sub-catchment of the Vereb-Pázmánd water flow shown in Fig.…”

Rainfall duration and parameter sensitivity on flash-flood at a steep watershed

“…1. The watershed area is 52.63 km 2 . Land use is mostly woodlands (∼70%) with agriculture use in the southern region (∼25%), and 4-5% urban area near the outlet, the soil is volcanic, Fig.…”
