Recently, various Best Management Practices (BMPs) have been applied at a field to reduce soil erosion. Hourly Runoff and Sediment Model for Best Management Practices (HRSM4BMP) model could be used to evaluate soil erosion reduction for various agricultural BMPs at fields. Runoff and sediment yield from source areas have to be predicted with greater accuracies to evaluate sediment reduction efficiently with BMPs. To achieve this, the best parameters related with runoff and sediment modules of the HRSM4BMP model should be identified with proper calibration processes. Although manual calibration is often utilized in calibrating runoff and sediment using the HRSM4BMP, objective calibration method would be recommended. The purpose of the study was to develop an automatic calibration tool of the HRSM4BMP model with PARASOL method. This automatic calibration tool was applied to Bangdongri, Chuncheon-si to evaluate its calibration performance. The $R^2$, NSE and RMSE value for runoff estimation were 0.92, 0.92, $0.3m^3$, and for sediment yield estimation were 0.94, 0.94, 0.0027 kg. As shown in this result, automatic calibration tool of HRSM4BMP model would be used to determine the best parameters and can be used to simulate runoff and sediment yield with acceptable accuracies.

The objectives of study are 1) to enhance the filed scale BMPs model of HRSM4BMP for simulation of watershed scale and 2) to evaluate the enhanced HRSM4BMP model. Thus pre-process and post-process module were developed and HRSM4BMP was linked to SWAT routing module. After enhancement of model, enhanced HRSM4BMP model was applied to Heaan watershed in Kangwon province with Vegetative filter strip (2 m) in subwatershed #14 and reduction of sediment load was evaluated by watershed scale in outlet. The results of simulation, sediment load was reduced by 4 percent during 3 years in outlet. The result of this study is expected to be used Long-term BMPs establishing plan in South Korea.
