Hi Celray,
  I am doing a project relating to nutrient transport especially pesticide and I wanted to calibrate my model for flow and sediment. But when I am using the same basin codes and same parameters in swat+ editor and toolbox, I am getting similar flow values but different sediment output. Can you please help me with that? 
For your information, I was having a problem with pesticide output using SWAT+ rev 61.0.1 and I was provided with corrected executable by the SWAT+ editor personnel, and I am using that revised executable for both editor and toolbox. I have attached both outputs and also the revised executables for your reference. Your help will be greatly appreciated.  
Regards,
Himmat Basnet

Check the instream sediment model used between SPE and SPT.

Hi- 
 I am using the same for both and I have attached the outputs as well as executables I am using for your reference.

I have seen that cal_parms.cal is different but I will take a closer look tomorrow using your executable files

Hi-
 I hope everything is going well. I just wanted to know if you had a chance to look into the sediment issue?

Hi celray-
 I hope you are doing well. I wanted to check quickly if you were able to look into the differing sediment yield issue between editor and toolbox? 
Also I had preciously attached txtinout for both editor and toolbox and also modified executables used.

Thanks,
Himmat Basnet

please zip the files so each setup can be downloaded at once... currently google drive is only allowing downloading one file at a time.

Hi-
 I have moved all the folders under the single folder and have attached the link. I hope to get a response regarding the issue of sediment difference soon. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Himmat

I have found the reason. this one was a little hard to dig bit it is the 'cal_parms.cal' file. it has different ranges and that is why the calibrated parameters are applied slightly differently and hence, different outputs.

Hi celray-
 Thanks for your insights. So how do you suggest I approach it?
