Full-text available
Hydrological and soil erosion models are often used to assess the impacts of global change and potential adaptation strategies on flood risks and sediment transport. These hydrology and sediment transport models require channel dimensions as input to quantify flood frequency, runoff, flow velocity, sediment detachment and deposition processes. Espe...

Question
Hi,
I am working with ArcSWAT 2012.10.2.18.
I need to know the TIME OF CONCENTRATION of my watershed. The teory-documentation pdf say that this variable is calculated by the model at subbasin and HRU level (I attach the image).
However, in the User´s Guide and in the Input-Output pdfs this calculation is not specified.
Does anyone know where this variable is?? May be in an output file from the TXTlnOut folder??

Hi,
I am working with a SWAT model to evaluate variations in water balance components.
I calibrated my swat model with hydrological parameters results from swat-cup (sufi-2). Now, NSE and R2 >0.7 in calibration and validation series with observed flow_out (m3/s), etc. etc.
I need to incorporate climate change data in swat. We have prepared the average of many GCMs with regionalization technique used in Spain, and after I have modified these future series to the file format required by SWAT (.txt).
My question is: in ArcSWAT 2012.10.2.18, in “Write input tables/ Weather data definition”:
-Do I only have to select my future precipitation and temperature series?????
-Is it necessary to remove my previous precipitation and temperature series (1980-2016 daily)????? (I add image).
Best,
Antonio
