Assessment of the capability of SWAT model to predict surface runoff in open cast coal mining areas

Impacts of Land Use Change and Climate Variability on Streamflow in the Piracicaba Basin, Brazil

“…These characteristics give the SWAT model the robustness to employ it in different water resource management studies, such as: evaluation of water availability (Rouholahnejad et al, 2014;Fukunaga et al, 2015;Cuceloglu et al, 2017), measurement of changes in hydrological behavior resulting from changes in land use (Machado et al, 2018;Napoli et al, 2017;Sam & Khoi, 2022;Singh et al, 2023), erosion estimation (Machado et al, 2003;Tibebe & Bewket, 2011;Abdelwahab et al, 2018;Karakoyun & Kaya, 2022), nutrient transport (Baltokoski et al, 2010;jaimes-Correa et al, 2022;femeena et al, 2022), and climate and land use change (Aawar & Khare, 2020;Abbasi, 2022;Ahmed et al, 2022;Wang el al., 2022).…”
