Have a nice day everyone, I've created a watershed model via WEAP software for modeling water budget of a basin. Now, I'm planning to construct another model using another software/program for modeling the same area and compare different models' performances.
Lastly, I'd like to ask you about "Pysheds" model's weaknesses and strenghts, plus I'd be so glad if you could share with me tutorials through which I can figure out basics of "Pysheds"
Thanks in advance
Basin Characterization Model (BCM)
The Basin Characterization Model (BCM) models the interactions of climate (rainfall and temperature) with empirically measured landscape attributes including topography, soils, and underlying geology. It is a grid-based model that calculates the water balance (the amount of water in each of the fractions of the total water budget, including runoff, recharge, and evapotranspiration) for each 18-acre cell (270m resolution) in a given watershed in set time steps for the entire area. The California BCM uses a minimum time step of monthly results at the scale of a 270m grid, allowing the generation of scenarios at annual, seasonal, or monthly time steps.

Bachir Achour Thanks a lot for the information about BCM. Is there any tutorial about the model so that I can learn the basic applications of model.
Thanks in advance
Dear Ibrahim,
Here is a link that you will find helpful.

Water balance is dealt with extensively in our two books:
Book National Water Security, Case Study of an Arid Country: Tunisia
(6) Sécurité Hydrique de la Tunisie, Gérer l'eau en conditions de pénurie | Request PDF (researchgate.net)
We are allowed to communicate copies of the book in french in the scientific sphere, just request on my RG page. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to do so with the English book
More resources on water resources in the arid zone can be found on the following projects referenes:

IntErO model for calculation of soil erosion intensity and runoff
Dear colleague/s,
(to Ibrahim, but open to some other interested colleagues)
I am kindly inviting you to have a look at the application of my IntErO model for the calculation of soil erosion intensity and runoff (link):
IntErO model
www.geasci.org/IntErO.
- Free download of the software;
- Simple installation;
- Examples of applications available on the same web page (but also on RG and on www.geasci.org/Publications);
- I, as an author, am available to demonstrate how it is working.
Finally, in case you decide to compare the results received with using the IntErO with some other model/s and or measurements, I will try to arrange to finance the publication of the paper having in a team of authors two of us from my team,
Sincerely,
Velibor Spalevic

IntErO model is good for calculating runoff and soil erosion intensity in my perspective because I have tested it in Kalu Ganga dataset of Sri Lanka. Furthermore, you can also use other softwares like ArcMap along with HEC-HMS and BCM as well.
Dear/sir,
I conducted my research on sediment yield estimation from a watershed, using the SWAT model. is there any additional model that helps to address my objective, please?
