Reviewer 2 Report
Evaluation of the manuscript entitled: Inclusion of modified snow melting and flood processes in the SWAT model By Yongchao Duan, Tie Liu, Fanhao Meng, Min Luo, Amaury Frank, Philippe De Maeyer, Anming Bao, Alishir Kurban and Xianwei Feng This article using soil and water assessment tool deals with the determination of precipitation type (rain or snow) for improving the accuracy of hydrological simulation in contribution of snow to river runoff. The proposed method was applied to simulate snowmelt and a selected mountain river basin in western China. The structure of the paper is good enough (some re- arrangements of the sessions needed: see comments) and the goal of this paper is well understood. I recommend publication in Water after minor revision. These issues are necessary in order the paper merits publication. The abstract should be shorter and in accordance with the journal's specifications. See: Instructions for Authors (maximum 200 words) Tables and figures have to placed next to the relevant text in the articleAuthor Response
