Calibration of Exported Sediment

Hello

I am using SDR to study the sediment yield in a watershed in Southern Italy. We have been able to get reasonable results from the model related to Annual Soil Loss (RUSLE) regarding compared to other published research (our, RUSLE Panagos 2015) however, after sujbjecting most of the most sensititive parameters (K, IC, SDRmax, C factor) still we can not get not even closer results to observed data of total catchment sediment export (sediment Yield). We have a lack of observed sediment data (only 4/5 years) and we have no data about possibile bed/bank or Gully erosion so as to count this while validating the data. Any suggestion?

Hii, even I faced a similar issue. You can compare the trends between your model data and the observed data to validate your results.
