Introduction
Various Best Management Practices (BMPs) have been proposed to mitigate adverse impacts on water bodies and ecosystem of non-point source pollution.
The riparian buffer system (RBS) has been recommended among a lot of researchers studying in this field.
The SWAT-REMM prototype model was developed by the researchers in Canada.However, the SWAT-REMM prototype model has a lot of limitation.
The purposes of this study are to:I. Improve the prototype version of the SWAT-REMM system
II. Simulate water quality improvement with riparian buffer system using SWAT-REMM enhanced model

Limitations of SWAT-REMM Prototype
The SWAT-REMM prototype …• can NOT simulate riparian buffer system established at severalsubwatersheds
• can NOT reflect soil properties of riparian buffer zone at studywatershed
• can NOT consider multiple weather stations
• can NOT consider NO3-N load in baseflow through riparian buffersystem
•was NOT tightly coupled (run SWAT first, run REMM and then run SWAT routing manually)
Enhancement of SWAT-REMM system
SWAT Watershed Delineation Interface was modified to delineates buffer/concentrateddrainage for user-specifying reach segment
1. Can simulate riparian buffer system established at several subwatersheds.

Conclusions SWAT-REMM enhanced system ...
» SWAT-REMM enhanced system was improved.
» Reduction efficiency was affected by riparian buffer width.
» However, REMM model in SWAT-REMM system was not calibrated and validated in this study.
» Still, several items in the enhanced SWAT-REMM System have to be improved.
Conclusions
I really appreciate Liu, Y., Yang, W. and Wang, X for sharing the SWAT-REMM prototype source codes and modules.
