• Abstract: Watershed models such as the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) consist of high-dimensional physical and empirical parameters. These parameters need to be accurately calibrated for models to produce reliable predictions for streamflow, evapotranspiration, snow water equivalent, and nutrient loading. Existing parameter estimation methods are time-consuming, inefficient, and computationally intensive, with reduced accuracy when estimating high-dimensional parameters. In this paper, we present a fast, accurate, and reliable methodology to calibrate the SWAT model (i.e., 21 parameters) using deep learning (DL). We develop DL-enabled inverse models based on convolutional neural networks to ingest streamflow data and estimate the SWAT model parameters. Hyperparameter tuning is performed to identify the optimal neural network architecture and the nine next best candidates. We use ensemble SWAT simulations to train, validate, and test the above DL models. We estimated the actual parameters of the SWAT model using observational data. We test and validate the proposed DL methodology on the American River Watershed, located in the Pacific Northwest-based Yakima River basin. Our results show that the DL models-based calibration is better than traditional parameter estimation methods, such as generalized likelihood uncertainty estimation (GLUE). The behavioral parameter sets estimated by DL have narrower ranges than GLUE and produce values within the sampling range even under high relative observational errors. This narrow range of parameters shows the reliability of the proposed workflow to estimate sensitive parameters accurately even under noise. Due to its fast and reasonably accurate estimations of process parameters, the proposed DL workflow is attractive for calibrating integrated hydrologic models for large spatial-scale applications.
