Abstract:Watershed modeling is a crucial tool needed for understanding, evaluating, and predicting the adverse impact of water pollution. The watershed model can be divided into an upland watershed model (UWSM) and a downstream waterbody model (DWBM). Neither a single UWSM nor DWBM are able to accurately simulate the pollutant transport along with the surface flow in complex upland watershed−waterbody systems. Therefore, coupled UWSM and DWBM are more desirable. This study categorized the coupled UWSM and DWBM into ext… 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.
