1 2018 SWAT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE, JAN 10-12, CHENNAI 1 Comparative analysis of SWAT model with Coupled SWAT-MODFLOW model for Gibbs Farm Watershed in Georgia Presented By K.Sangeetha B.Narasimhan D.D.Bosch A.W.Coffin

2 Future Work 2 Outline of the Study Motivation Study Area Description Gibbs farm watershed Methodology Model setup Results and Discussions Conclusion

3 Motivation 3 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)

4 Deep Aquifer Shallow Aquifer Revap Soil Profile Plant Transpiration Soil Evaporation 4 (Contd..) Precipitation Surface Runoff SWAT considers each HRU and sub- basins as separate 1-D unit Sub Surface Lateral flow Spatial locations of each HRU - sub-basins are not considered Percolation/GW Recharge GW Model lacks in simulating the GW Flow distribution and recharge rates for Percolation watershed

5 Study area Gibbs Farm Watershed

11 SWAT Model Input Data 11

12 SWAT Model Input Data 12 Landuse : North basin (more crops in plastic covered beds) and south basin ( more ponds and less land for crops)

13 Effect of Ponds in the Watershed 13 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 m below land surface mostly surface and shallow GW

20 Challenges in Model Calibration 20 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
