Simulation of low flow process is critical to water quality, water supply, and aquatic habitat. However, the poor performance of Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) in dry seasons has impeded its application to watersheds characterized largely by low-flows. Aiming at overcoming this shortage, a seasonal calibration scheme was proposed, in which SWAT was calibrated separately for the dry and wet periods and the optimal simulation results of these two periods were combined into a complete runoff series. An extended SWAT model incorporating with the proposed seasonal calibration scheme, named SWAT-SC was constructed and compared with the original SWAT to simulate daily runoff in the Jinjiang watershed dominated by a typical subtropical monsoon climate in southeastern China. The study reveals that when Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (ENS) of the original SWAT model indicated a satisfied model performance in a wet season or a whole year, it may not guaranty acceptable performance for the dry period. A significant improvement was achieved by using SWAT-SC for simulating runoffs in the dry period, and although not as notably as the dry period, improvements for runoff simulation of the wet and overall periods were observed as well.
