Presentation Title
Hydrologic Modeling of the Singapore-Malaysia Catchment
Abstract
The Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model is applied to the Singapore-Malaysia catchment to simulate streamflow. Calibration and validation results indicate that the model can predict streamflow accurately, with correlation coefficients that are larger than 0.9 and Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency around 0.86. Initial Soil Conservation Service (SCS) runoff curve number for moisture condition II (Cn2), saturated hydraulic conductivity (Sol_K) and depth from soil surface to bottom of layer (Sol_Z) are found to be the most sensitive parameters.
