Summary

As part of the Coastal Carolinas Focus Area Study of the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Census Program, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to develop models for the Pee Dee River Basin, North Carolina and South Carolina, to simulate future streamflow and irrigation demand based on land use, climate, and water demand projections. SWAT is a basin-scale, process-based watershed model with the capability of simulating water-management scenarios. Model basins were divided into approximately two-square mile subbasins and subsequently divided into smaller, discrete hydrologic response units based on land use, slope, and soil type. The calibration period for the historic model was 2000 to 2014. The best available data [...]

Purpose

The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to develop models for the Pee Dee River Basin, North Carolina and South Carolina, to simulate future streamflow and irrigation demand based on land use, climate, and water demand projections. The Pee Dee River Basin is one of two basins modeled with SWAT as part of the Coastal Carolinas Focus Area Study of the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Census Program. The second basin modeled was the Cape Fear River Basin of North Carolina (https://doi.org/10.5066/P98PVDBW).The development of the model input and output files included in this data release are documented in the U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2023-5036 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20235036).
