Projecting climate change impacts on streamflow in the Kunthi River Basin in Peninsular India with the SWAT model

This project framework helps you study how climate change will affect the water flow in the Kunthi River Basin, a small, ungated catchment in Peninsular India. It uses the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to build, tune, and test a semi‑distributed hydrological model with historic spatial and weather data. The model is tuned with data from 1991‑1997 and tested with data from 1998‑2005, comparing the results to measured streamflow at the basin’s outlet gauge. Model performance is checked with the Nash‑Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) and uncertainty measures called the p‑factor and r‑factor. After the model passes validation, you can add climate projections for 2075‑2088 under RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5

to predict future streamflow changes. This step‑by‑step guide lets graduate students examine water‑balance components, evaluate water‑resource vulnerability, and design climate‑resilient watershed management plans for monsoon‑driven tropical basins.
