Abstract :
In this study, has been used soil and water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model for comparison of water balance components in Talar watershed of Mazandaran Province located of north IRAN. According to the available statistic for obtaining the output of the SWAT model, water year of 2003-2004 until 2006-2007 in 4 years, for model calibration and water year of 2008-2009 until 2009-2010 , in 2 years, for model validation.For examination accuracy, extracted data from the year of 2008-2009 until 2009-2010, in 2 years. As the results of this study, it was found about the amount of precipitation, with fluctuations, is distributed in all sub-basins of watersheds and Sub-basins 1 to 4 pay attention to rainfall regime in the end section of the catchment area , have volume of snow melting equal zero. In the rest of the sub-basins, the snow melting with fluctuations, are almost normal. Except for the sub-basin number 11, which melt snow more than the rest area. Potential evapotranspiration in the lower parts of the area is more than due to the higher average temperature compare of the upper areas. Therefore, this issue can be considered in terms of estimating about water balance of the area. In terms of sediment, the lower sub-basins of this region are less, which are more forest area. However, in the land use of forest, barren and pasture lands, the amount of sediment yield is higher, which should be consideration due to the soil condition and human factors.of the area
