Motivation

Streams and lakes interact with adjacent aquifers and need to be treated

together in water resource assessment.

For efficient water resource management, linkage between SW & GW is essential

Many models are integrated for understanding the SW-GW interaction – (SWAT

– MODFLOW)

This study attempts to demonstrate and analyse the application of SWAT model

with recently developed GUI (SWATMOD-PREP)

SWAT considers each HRU and sub- basins

as separate 1-D unit

Spatial locations of each HRU - sub-basins

are not considered

Model lacks in simulating the GW

distribution and recharge rates for

Coupled SWAT- MODFLOW MODEL (SWATMOD-PREP)

Developed for exchanging the characteristics between HRU’s of

SWAT model and grid cells in MODFLOW model

GW module in SWAT is replaced by MODFLOW

Landuse : North basin (more crops in plastic covered beds) and south basin ( more ponds and less land for crops)

Page 13: Comparative analysis of SWAT model with Coupled SWAT ... · Ponds constructed on Miocene Hawthorne formation which act as Aquiclude Ponds store stream flow and utilized for irrigation

Effect of Ponds in the Watershed

Farm ponds – agricultural source for the watershed in the south basin and also

for irrigating the north basin fields.

Ponds constructed on Miocene Hawthorne formation which act as Aquiclude

Ponds store stream flow and utilized for irrigation

Water is pumped from Floridan aquifers at a depth of 60-200 m below land

surface – mostly surface and shallow GW

Page 20: Comparative analysis of SWAT model with Coupled SWAT ... · Ponds constructed on Miocene Hawthorne formation which act as Aquiclude Ponds store stream flow and utilized for irrigation

Challenges in Model Calibration

In north basin, more cropland and in south basin, more ponds

In south basin , Ponds decrease surface runoff and increase baseflow and

north basin almost all vegetables plastic covered which increases surface

runoff

Parameters was slightly different for both because of significant

difference in north and south basins
