The Effect of Land Use Change on Runoff Using the SWAT Model in the Tajan Watershed by hayede bayani, ali bagheri, Davod Akbari Nodehi, Valiollah Karimi

“…The reason for the low results at some stations was the lack of a sufficient number of the rain gauge and synoptic stations in the areas to record heavy rainfall on a daily scale with better spatial coverage. Conclusion: In the present study, the SWAT modeling and land change analysis were investigated as new planning tools to investigate land dynamics in the Tajen watershed from 1990 to 2020. …”
