Abstract
This paper presents the hydrologic modelling of Thuthapuzha sub-basin of
Bharathapuzha river basin for efficient water management practices using
the Soil and Water Assessment Tool(SWAT 2012) model. The objectives of
the research were to apply Geographic Information System(GIS) and SWAT
model for simulation of water discharge with input data including:
Digital Elevation Model(DEM), landcover of and soil map. The SWAT 2012
model is interfaced with ArcGIS. The model was also calibrated from 2005
to 2008 and validated from 2009 to 2011 using SWAT CUP SUFI-2 Algorithm.
The study shows that SWAT model is a capable tool for simulating
hydrologic components of Thuthapuzha sub-basin.
