Journal ArticleDOI
Incorporating landscape depression heterogeneity into the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) using a probability distribution
TL;DR: In this article, a probability distribution model of depression storage is introduced into the SWAT model to better handle landscape storage heterogeneity, and the integrated SWAT-PDLD model is tested using datasets for two prairie depression dominated watersheds in Canada.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybrid modelling approach to prairie hydrology: fusing data-driven and process-based hydrological models
TL;DR: In this article, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is fused with artificial neural networks (ANNs), so that SWAT and ANN module deal with the contributing and non-contributing areas, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling of nutrient export and effects of management practices in a cold-climate prairie watershed: Assiniboine River watershed, Canada
TL;DR: In this article, a new version of the SWAT model called SWAT-PDLD, which combines SWAT and a Probability Distributed Landscape Depressions (PDLD) model, along with a seasonally varying soil erodibility factor, was applied to a Canadian prairie watershed (the Assiniboine River watershed, Saskatchewan, Canada).
Journal ArticleDOI
Currents Status, Challenges, and Future Directions in Identifying Critical Source Areas for Non-Point Source Pollution in Canadian Conditions
Ramesh Rudra,Balew A. Mekonnen,Rituraj Shukla,Narayan Kumar Shrestha,Pradeep K. Goel,Prasad Daggupati,Asim Biswas +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review potential methods and challenges in identifying critical source areas (CSAs) under Canadian conditions and highlight future research directions to address limitations of currently available methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrological Responses to Various Land Use, Soil and Weather Inputs in Northern Lake Erie Basin in Canada
Prasad Daggupati,Rituraj Shukla,Balew A. Mekonnen,Ramesh Rudra,Asim Biswas,Pradeep K. Goel,Shiv O. Prasher,Wanhong Yang +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied the SWAT model for Northern Lake Erie Basin (NLEB; entire contributing basin to Lake Erie) to evaluate the effects of input data types on the simulation of hydrological processes and streamflows.
