Abstract: | Hydrological models are tools which describe processes and allow predicting the results of making management decisions, and are an important water resource management tool, especially for small-sized watersheds. This work had as an objective to test different calibration strategies and apply the SWAT model for hydrological simulation of the Mortes River Basin, MG. We evaluated 6 fluviometric stations, with drainage area between 272 and 6070 km² for purposes of water resource management. The evaluation of the model performance was conducted by using Nash-Sutcliffe coefficients (CNS) and percent bias (PBIAS). The results obtained from the statistic indices applied in the analysis of the model performance qualified the SWAT hydrological model as adequate for streamflow simulation in the Mortes River Basin. The adopted strategies attest to the applicability of the model as a management tool for water resources planning for other small-sized watersheds without data, in order to plan for rational water use. |
