INFLUENCE OF THE CATCHMENT DISCRETIZATION ON THE OPTIMIZATION OF RUNOFF-EROSION MODELLING

In this application-based study, the influence of the catchment discretization on the optimization of runoff-erosion modeling using a particle swarm optimization to a physically-based erosion model named WESP (Watershed Erosion Simulation Program) is conducted. This study is carried in the semiarid...
