Evaluating the Effects of Watershed Subdivision on Hydrological Simulation by Swat Model in an Arctic Watershed
Abstract The hydrological model SWAT is a state-of-the-art tool for environmental and water resources management. Like other semi-distributed models, the whole river basin in the SWAT model is delineated into smaller sub-basins prior to conducting the simulation. Watershed delineation is an importan...
