The objectives are to evaluate the ability of this new, improved version of the SWAT model to reproduce the flows in a complex catchment and to analyse the evolution of these flows over the historical period 1986-2020 (35 years). Sensitivity analysis, calibration and validation were carried out with monthly flow data. The decision tables for irrigation operations and reservoir water release were filled in the SWAT+ Editor to establish the reservoir water balance. The Mann-Kendall trend test with the threshold of the standard normal statistic = 1.96, was applied to the time series of flows to the Nanan Reservoir. The results reveal that SWAT+ is more sensitive to eight parameters, including the new CN3_SWF parameter (-0.04329), which gave the user control of the soil saturation level. Good performances were obtained during calibration and validation, respectively: NSE (0.78; 0.69); R² (0.81; 0.70); PBIAS (-18.58; -23.9) and RSR (0.47; 0.56), with a tendency to slightly overestimate flows. The analysis shows that flows to the Nanan Reservoir are highly variable yearly, with a non-significant upward trend (|Z|=1.3&lt;1.96) from 1986 to 2020. The water balance reveals that the runoff inflow generated will compensate for water withdrawals for irrigation of the Nanan paddy scheme during this period. Furthermore, this study provides a methodological framework for SWAT+ reservoir model calibration in an uncontrolled catchment.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":56070,"journal":{"name":"Ecohydrology & Hydrobiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132628468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study used flow data from two flow observation stations (FOS) and meteorological records such as </span>wind speed<span>, average flow, precipitation, temperature, evaporation, radiation, and relative humidity for 1984-2017. These data showed the changes between flow and hydrometeorological variables using linear regression analysis, coefficient of variation, t-test and correlation analysis. It has been determined that there has been a rapid decrease in the average flow of the FOS number 09-006 since 1995 and the average flow of the FOS number 09-013 since 1999. Also, it was demonstrated that the average relative humidity (RH</span></span>_ave), average temperature (T_ave), average precipitation (Pave), total precipitation (Pt) and maximum precipitation (P_max) meteorological variables were most affected by climate change in the basin.

Using both site monitoring and modelling, we assessed cotton irrigation scheduling under current practices and the planning options in the context of the Warabandi principle. The farming practices of two raised-bed furrow cotton fields were intensively monitored at the Mungi distributary canal command area in Punjab. The AquaCrop model was parameterized and validated using 2019 and 2020 datasets and then applied to assess four irrigation scheduling scenarios. Scenario 1 reflects the current irrigation practice under canal water and groundwater use, while for scenarios 2, 3, and 4, solely canal water was considered and irrigation followed a fixed rotation of 7-days, 14-days, and targeted intervals, respectively. According to simulations’ outputs, scenarios 2, 3, and 4 resulted in better performance compared to the current practices in both fields by reducing percolation substantially up to 90% below the root zone and lowered soil evaporation by up to 27% enebling similar yields ∼2.2 ton/ha raw cotton and higher water productivity. Under the frame conditions of Warabandi, scenario 4 was a promising option for introducing more flexible and demand-oriented irrigation at the farm level targeting cotton's water-stress sensitive growth stages by adapting irrigation application to rainfall events and refilling the soil slightly below field capacity level during each irrigation event to reduce percolation.
