Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution is a pressing issue worldwide, especially in the Chesapeake Bay, where sediment, nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) are most critical water quality concerns. Despite significant efforts by federal, state, local governments, improvement has been limited. Investigating spatial distribution of NPS hotspots can help understand pollutant output guide control measures. W...

The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model is a continuation of nearly 30 years of modeling efforts conducted by the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS). SWAT has gained international acceptance as a robust interdisciplinary watershed modeling tool as evidenced by international SWAT conferences, hundreds of SWAT‐related papers presented at numerous other scientific meetings, and dozen...

We developed a practical method to accelerate execution of Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) using open (free) computational resources. The SWAT source code (rev 622) was recompiled using a noncommercial Intel FORTRAN compiler in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Linux platform, and newly named iOMP-SWAT in this study. GNU utilities of make, gprof, and diff were used to develop the iOMP-SWAT package, profil...

Browning is characterized by the formation of beige/brite fat depots in subcutaneous white adipose tissue (sWAT). This study aimed to examine whether the chronic activation of PPARalpha by fenofibrate could induce beige cell depots in the sWAT of diet-induced obese mice. High-fat fed animals presented overweight, insulin resistance and displayed adverse sWAT remodeling. Fenofibrate significantl...

Identifying the core hydrological processes of catchments is a critical step for operative modeling. This study attempts to assess long-term alterations in streamflow three adjacent Upper East Fork White River, Indiana USA, by employing SWAT model. The model simulations are spanning from 1980 up 2015 and distributed configurations periods identify monthly streamflow. For this purpose, water abs...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of best management practices (BMPs) reduce soil erosion in Gumara watershed Abbay (Upper Blue Nile) Basin using Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. The model calibrated (1995–2002) validated (2003–2007) SWAT-CUP based on observed streamflow sediment yield data at outlet. evaluated four individual BMP Scenarios; namely, filter strip...
