Abstract
Application of auto-calibration tool of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool(SWAT) model was evaluated for long-term stream flow simulation from the Samangeum watershed. Hydrologic parameters calibration for basin scale such as Samangeum watershed is quite challenging task since huge variations of hydrologic properties of HRU`s. In this study, the sensitivity analysis of hydrologic parameters was initially conducted to evaluate auto-calibration tool of the SWAT model. The most sensitive parameters were: channel effective hydraulic conductivity(CH_K2), SCS Curve Number II value (CN2), surface runoff lag time(SURLAG), base flow alpha factor (Alpha_Bf), soil evaporation compensation factor(ESCO), and available water capacity (Sol_Awc), respectively. After sensitivity analysis, some important parameters were selected for SWAT model optimization. Calibration of selected parameters was conducted using auto calibration tool of SWAT model over the Saemangeum Watershed. The comparison between the observed and simulated stream flow indicated that there was a good agreement between the observed and simulated discharge, which was verified by coefficient of determination (R2) and Nash Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) greater than 0.5. We found that auto-calibration tool of SWAT model was reliable for the optimization of parameters reflecting Saemangeum Watershed conditions.
