Blue and Green water

[denis oketta]

Hello Everyone,

I need guidance on this.

After running the model am getting very high values for flow in and flow out and other values, and I don't know how to interpret the values. Anyone with knowledge in Blue and green water modelling, help and guide me on how to interpret the values in the attached file.  

The purpose of my simulation is to run the SWAT+ model to detect and quantify the amount of BLUE AND GREEN  water in the catchment area.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Without a thorough familiarity of the area and the model, there is very limited guidance that we can provide. To help you navigate this, answer these questions to yourself:

- what is the channel number that needs to be compared to observed values?

- what are the measured flow rates?

- how those flow rates are different from what you get?

- was the model calibrated for water yield?

- is the precipitation correct?

- does my model have plants growing?

To help, you can use different tools. I always reccomend the SWATdoctR (availablehere: https://swat.tamu.edu/software/), because it will get you thinking in a systemic way, which will enable model result analysis.

Best,

Natalja
