Abstract:Calibrating spatially distributed hydrological models in ungauged mountain basins is complicated due to the paucity of information and the uncertainty in representing the physical characteristics of a drainage area. In this study, an innovative method is proposed that incorporates the Budyko framework and water balance equation derived water yield (WYLD) in the calibration of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) with a monthly temporal resolution. The impact of vegetation dynamics (i.e., vegetation covera… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
