Coupled SWAT-MODFLOW model for assessing watershed responses to groundwater sustainability: A novel ensemble approach by Tarekegn Dejen Mengistu, Il-Moon Chung, Mingyu Kim, Sun Woo Chang

“…The performance of the integrated SWAT-MODFLOW model was assessed using the Parameter Estimation Tool (PEST) with streamflow and aquifer properties, and was found to be in reasonable agreement between the predicted and observed values. New hydrological insights: Annual ensemble values of exploitable amounts of groundwater discharge, minimum desirable flow, and groundwater recharge were used to compute the groundwater footprint and sustainability. …”
