DWSM
Dynamic Watershed Simulation Model
The Dynamic Watershed Simulation Model (DWSM) is a watershed model capturing rainfall-runoff dynamics for extreme rain events in agricultural watersheds. It is capable of simulating hydrologic, sedminent transport and erosion processes.

- Model Information
- For more information about this model, go to Borah, Deva & Xia, R. & Bera, M.. (2002). DWSM-A Dynamic Watershed Simulation Model.
- Spatial Resolution
- The spatial resolution is defined the sub-basin scale. Each basin is defined as two planes and a channel. Each plane is assumed homogeneous.
- Temporal Resolution
- The model simulation period is defined as a single event and based and the time step specified with a scale on the order of minutes to hours.
- Outputs
- Outputs specifics are unknown.
