Evaluating combinations of rainfall datasets and optimization techniques for improved hydrological predictions using the SWAT+ model by Mahesh R. Tapas, Randall Etheridge, Thanh-Nhan-Duc Tran, Manh-Hung Le, Brian Hinckley, Van Tam Nguyen, Venkataraman Lakshmi

“…For the Cape Fear and Tar-Pamlico watersheds, the study highlighted SWAT+ 's challenges in predicting base flow for groundwater-driven systems and demonstrated the potential of optimization techniques to improve flow simulations despite poor satellite-gauge rainfall correlation. The combination of the GPM IMERG dataset and the GLUE method proved most effective, offering valuable guidance for selecting optimal datasets and methods to enhance prediction accuracy in complex watersheds.…”
