Abstract
AbstractHere, the results of Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) simulation are calibrated and validated using SWAT-CUP Premium, and the R2 (coefficient of determination) values of simulated and observed flows are compared. According to the SWAT analysis of the Cheongsong Yongjeon stream basin, low accuracy of 0.40 was the R2 value for simulated and observed flows, and the baseflow was calculated at an annual average of 46.659 m3/s. During the same period, after calibration and validation using SWAT-CUP Premium, the R2 value of simulated and observed flows was improved to 0.71, and the evaluation indexes showed 0.51 for Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NS), 37.1 for percent bias (PBIAS), 0.73 for P-factor, and 0.33 for R-factor, indicating that the relationship between observed and simulated flows was improved. In addition, after calibration and validation, the baseflow was 56.951 m3/s, which was a more accurate value than the one before calibration and validation.
