Modeling ACRU4 PercentRiparianInfestation: Exploring the Impact of Land Use on Riparian Ecosystems
ModelsWhat is ACRU4 PercentRiparianInfestation? The ACRU4 PercentRiparianInfestation model is a tool for predicting the percentage of riparian areas in a watershed that are infested with invasive plant species. The model is based on the Agricultural Policy/Environmental eXtender (APEX) model and uses inputs such as land use, soil type, and climate data to estimate the probability

Excluding Dam Capacity from Runoff Models: Implications for Earth Science Studies
ModelsRunoff models are an important tool in earth science studies, helping researchers and practitioners understand how water moves through the landscape. These models are used to predict how much water will flow into streams and rivers from rainfall and snowmelt, which is important for managing water resources, predicting floods and droughts, and understanding the effects

Linking Model Variables to Theory Documentation in WRSM-Pitman: A Mapping Approach for Improved Earth Science Modeling
ModelsAs Earth science models become more complex, it becomes increasingly difficult to understand the relationships between the variables in the model and the underlying theory that informs them. This is where mapping variables in the model to the theory documentation in WRSM-Pitman can be particularly useful. In this article, we explore the benefits of this

Integrating MIKE-SHE Hydrological Model: Exporting SZ Flow to Inform Boundary Conditions in Nested Models
ModelsThe MIKE-SHE hydrological model is a powerful tool for simulating the hydrological cycle in catchments and has been widely used in various environmental studies. One of the key features of the model is its ability to simulate groundwater-surface water interaction through the so-called SZ (Saturated Zone) flow. However, when modeling large catchments, the computational cost

Impact of Multi-Reservoir Irrigation on Watershed Modeling using SWAT+
ModelsThe Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a widely used hydrologic model for simulating water balance and nutrient cycling in watersheds. SWAT+ is an improved version of this model that has been developed to address some of the limitations of the original model. One of the key features of SWAT+ is the ability to

Enhancing SWAT+ Modeling with Advanced Manual Irrigation Techniques for Improved Agricultural Water Management
ModelsSWAT+ is a comprehensive modeling tool that is widely used to predict the effects of land management practices on water quality and quantity. The SWAT+ model incorporates a range of hydrologic processes, such as precipitation, runoff, sediment transport, and nutrient cycling, to simulate the response of watersheds to different land management practices. In particular, the

ACRU4 Model: Enhancing Wetland Water Balance Estimation with Rainfall Units
ModelsWetlands are unique ecosystems that play a critical role in the water cycle. They act as natural filters, removing pollutants and nutrients from water and providing habitat for a wide variety of plant and animal species. However, wetlands are also highly sensitive to changes in precipitation patterns. Understanding the water balance of wetlands is therefore
