Adjusting SWAT model water quality parameters(.wwq)?

I Have been so much overwhelmed by the parameters that needs to be adjusted in the .wwq input file, as i was reading the SWAT 2012 documentation , the most of the parameters are explained but, they need high level of expertise and time to collect all the necessary data to adjust them,

has anyone ever did adjust those parameters , if so share your expirience ,

or can i just run the model with the default parameters, then after calibration i could just use the data to represent the watershed ?

help iam just a novice in this model , i just want to model water quality

please be kind

thanks in advance

That is a good question.
