Abstract

In this study, the catchment hydrology cycle analysis tool (CAT) model was used to conduct a comprehensive hydrological analysis of the water balance of agricultural reservoirs. Data from 2010 to 2017, including precipitation, water level data in the reservoir, groundwater usage, and wastewater discharge, were collected and compiled for the upper reaches of the Hantan River Dam. The current conditions and content curves of the 11 reservoirs within the watershed were investigated and recorded. The results were analyzed by simulating three scenarios: treating the entire watershed as 1 unit, dividing the watershed into 5 sub-watersheds according to the standard watershed criteria, and further subdividing it into 27 watersheds, taking into account the presence of agricultural reservoirs. In cases where watershed information is lacking, it is deemed that subdividing the watershed can enhance efficiency. The highest model efficiency was observed in the 27 sub-basins, particularly when accounting for agricultural reservoirs. This study proposed an efficient method for hydrological analysis of watersheds including ungauged areas.
