Supporting data: "Landscape pollution source dynamics highlight priority locations for basin-scale interventions to protect water quality under hydroclimatic variability"

This resource contains supporting data for the publication "Landscape pollution source dynamics highlight priority locations for basin-scale interventions to protect water quality under hydroclimatic variability".

A Cape Fear River Basin Water Quantity and Quality Soil and Water Assessment Tool Model (CFRB WQQ SWAT Model) was developed to examine risks to water quality from point and non-point sources under current land use and weather conditions from 1982-2019, and to facilitate the evaluation of scenarios, including watershed-scale restoration of forests and wetlands. This work built on a Cape Fear River Basin Water Quantity Model developed by USGS for a Coastal Carolinas Focus Area Study of water availability and water use.

Datasets contained in this resource include:
-Spatial data delineating the basin, the CFRB WQQ SWAT Model subbasins, and the CFRB SWAT Model reach network.
-Predicted daily streamflow and loads of sediment, total nitrogen and total phosphorus based on the SWAT simulation reach and reservoir outputs.
-Predicted runoff and loads of sediment, total nitrogen and total phosphorus based on the SWAT simulation subbasin output.
