Virtual Watershed Model Simulations for Typified Prairie Watersheds in Pothole Till

The dataset is comprised of inputs to and outputs from the Cold Regions Hydrological Model (CRHM) when it was run as a virtual model of the Pothole Till class, as defined by Wolfe et al. (2019). These watersheds represented typified prairie watersheds based on physiogeography and coherent response to environmental change. Model parameters were informed by the results of Wolfe et al. (2019). The .prj files necessary to run the virtual models are included in the dataset. Climate forcing data are from the Adjusted and Homogenized Canadian Climate Dataset from a cohort of stations contained within each watershed class and cover a period from 1960-2006. There are a series of wetland drainage scenarios that progressively reduced the wetland depression area and storage capacity by increments of 10%. Model output includes hourly catchment outflow, and depression water storage in the HRUs for the baseline and each scenario.
