“…The SWAT model is a spatio-temporal, lumped parameter, eco-hydrological model that predicts numerous hydrological processes such as runoff, soil erosion, crop growth, nutrient, and pesticide transfer under various land-use and climatic situations (Sisay et al 2017). It is a viable tool for modeling the changes in watershed characteristics of complex catchments due to its flexibility to incorporate crop characteristics, cropping stage, and other processes associated with soil and water interactions (Yu et al 2018;Du et al 2019;Hosseini & Khaleghi 2020). The SWAT divides a catchment into sub-basins to characterize geographic heterogeneity.…”

In this study, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was used to examine the spatial variability of sediment yield, quantify runoff, and soil loss at the sub-basin level and prioritize sub-basins in the Sindh watershed due to its computational efficiency in complex watersheds. The Sequential Uncertainty Fitting-2 approach was used to determine the sensitivity and uncertainty of model parameters. The parameter sensitivity analysis showed that Soil Conservation Services Curve Number II is the most sensitive model parameter for streamflow simulation, whereas linear parameters for sediment re-entrainment is the most significant parameter for sediment yield simulation. This study used daily runoff and sediment event data from 2003 to 2013; data from 2003 to 2008 were utilized for calibration and data from 2009 to 2013 were used for validation. In general, the model performance statistics showed good agreement between observed and simulated values of streamflow and sediment yield for both calibration and validation periods. The noticed insights of this research show the ability of the SWAT model in simulating the hydrology of the Sindh watershed and its reliability to be utilized as a decision-making tool by decision-makers and researchers to influence strategies in the management of watershed processes.

“…The SWAT module for the Wełna River has been calibrated, verified and validated using the SWAT-CUP software 42 . For the quantitative component (water circulation in the catchment), the implemented daily flow data (source: IMGW-PIB) for the period of 18 years (2001–2018) came from the water gauge stations on the Wełna River (Pruśce and Kowanówko) and its tributary (the Flinta River-Ryczywół) (Fig.…”

Nitrogen and phosphorus budgeting is considered to be a key tool for policy makers and stakeholders when dealing with nutrient contamination issues, however no unified method has been employed in countries affected by this eutrophication problem. The current study offers a detailed insight into the estimations of nutrient loads and their distribution between different sources for a middle-sized agricultural catchment, with the use of two approaches: mass balance (static) and modelling (dynamic). Both methods revealed similar contributions of analysed nutrient sources, although the final estimates in the chosen calculation profile were divergent due to the various reasons related to the methods’ specificity. The advantages and disadvantages of both approaches have been specified in our study, and a hybrid solution on a local and country wide scale has been proposed.

Nitrogen and phosphorus budgeting is considered to be a useful tool for policy makers and stakeholders when dealing with nutrient contamination issues. Although a variety of budgeting approaches have been employed in countries affected by this problem, the direct comparison of possible options for the same area is quite limited. The current study offers a detailed insight into the estimations of nutrient loads and their distribution between different sources for a middle-sized agricultural catchment, with the use of two approaches: mass balance method and SWAT modelling. As a result of their comparison, both methods revealed similar contributions of analysed nutrient sources, although the absolute loads were heterogeneous, which stems from drawbacks related to the quality of the monitoring data, the performance of the model and omission of some catchment processes. However, in light of the performed comparison, we suggest a hybrid solution, combining the best features of both approaches.
