using swat model to determine runoff, sediment yield and nitrate loss in gorganrood watershed, iran
Authors
abstract
the adequacy of the swat model in the estimation of runoff, sediment yield and nitrate loss in the gorganrood watershed was tested, using the existing spatial database as the primary data. the model was then executed for a 31-years’ time period. in combination with the swat model, the sequential uncertainty fitting program (swat-cup and sufi-2) was added used to calibrate and validate a hydrologic model of the watershed. the obtained values at 14 stations were between 0.48 to 0.83 for ns and 0.58 to 0.90 for r2, respectively. the results showed that nitrate loss was higher in cultivated lands, and in the loess deposits. the maximum amounts of runoff and sediment yield were largely produced in steep areas of the watershed, where dry farming was practiced. in general, the results showed that swat could be a proper tool for simulating runoff, sediment yield and nitrate loss into the river.

Application of SWAT model to estimate the annual runoff and sediment of Duhok reservoir watershed
Estimation of runoff volume and sediment load is a problem that directly affects the performance of dams due to the reduction in the storage capacity of their reservoirs and their effect on dam efficiency and operation schedule. The simulation models can be considered for evaluation of sediment potential if the continuous field measurements are not available. Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWA...

Reliable estimates of runoff are required as a part of the information sets that help watershed managers make informed decisions on water resources planning and management. This study was carried out in Shafaroud watershed located in the north of Iran. In order to achieve the best runoff simulation in the study area, first rainfall data of four stations during 1998 to 2011 were collected and co...

Water erosion is a major environmental problem in many parts of the world. Majority of semi-arid countries are concerned because of their specific climate and soils sensitivity, but also because of the recent intensification of human activities and agricultural practices. Accurate estimation of water erosion for various land-use and climate scenarios is so an important key to define sustainable...

Non-point source pollution is well recognized as one of the most critical environmental hazards of modern times. In Illinois, non-point source pollution is the major cause of water quality problems, and soil erosion from agricultural lands is the major source of such pollution. Accelerated by anthropogenic activities, soil erosion reduces crop productivity and leads to subsequent problems from ...
