Hello everyone,

I'm using SWAT+ Editor 3.2.0 (rev. 61.0.2) for a one-year (2020) simulation and noticed large differences between HRU and outlet channel (Cha001) outputs.

  • Sediment
    • hru_ls_mon.txt (sedyld): 24,387 tons
    • channel_sd_mon.txt (sed_out): 427,960 tons
  • Glyphosate
    • Applied: ~23,470 kg
    • channel_pest_yr.txt outlet export: 23,160 kg
  • Nutrients
    • No fertilizer was applied, but channel nutrient exports are still much larger than expected.

Am I comparing the correct variables, or is there another output that should have used? I've attached the relevant TxtInOut files. 


Thanks,
Keith.
