This paper presents SWAT-MODFLOW-RT3D, a model that couples the semi-distributed watershed model SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) with the groundwater flow model MODFLOW and the groundwater solute reactive transport model RT3D to simulate nitrate (NO3) fate and transport in a watershed system. The model is based on a recently developed SWAT-MODFLOW model, with RT3D now called as a subroutine within the MODFLOW code to provide a single, stand-alone model code. RT3D uses NO3 concentration of deep percolation water from SWAT and groundwater heads and flows from MODFLOW to simulate spatially-varying groundwater NO3 concentration and NO3 loading to/from streams, with the latter used by SWAT to route NO3 mass through the network. Model use is demonstrated through an application to the Sprague River Watershed (4100 km(2)) in Oregon. Other chemical species of interest can be included in the RT3D reaction module in applications of the model to other watersheds.
