Knowledge about the effectiveness of Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) interventions is a key for sustainable watershed management. Various modeling tools support the SWC assessment. However, setting the parameters for SWC works remains challenging due in part to different environmental and scale constraints as well as lack of monitoring information. This research tests the transferability of a Bench Terrace Parameter-Set (BTPS) obtained, through the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model, for the experimental site of the terraced agricultural catchment (Sbaihia) to the receiver El-Gouazine catchment based on model performance assessment. This was facilitated by daily river discharge and multi-annual sedimentation records obtained at El-Gouazine hill-lake for both prior and post Bench Terrace (BT) implementation periods. Prior to the terracing (1994–1996) period, the calibration of the SWAT model using SUFI2 algorithm was implemented to the optimal model parameter set for El-Gouazine catchment achieving a Nash Sutcilffe Efficiency (NSE) of 0.57 for daily runoff. The BT parameters introduced to the SWAT model to simulate the catchment dynamics for the post terracing (1998–2002) period indicated a negative NSE, which emphasizes the distinct hydrological change through BTs. The consideration of the BTPS obtained for the Sbaihia catchment increased the daily based NSE to 0.50 for the specific period from 1998 to 2002. Results indicate the potential of BT parameter transfer between catchment using SWAT model as a viable option for other related studies of surface runoff and sediment yield based on descriptive parameters related to Curve Number (CN) and Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (MUSLE) methods. The BTPS can support setups of watershed models in similar environments and SWC context – thus, to eventually support sustainable watershed planning and management in data-scarce semi-arid areas.

关于水土保持（SWC）干预措施有效性的知识是可持续流域管理的关键。各种建模工具支持SWC评估。但是，部分地由于不同的环境和规模限制以及缺乏监控信息，为SWC工作设置参数仍然具有挑战性。这项研究测试了通过土壤和水评估工具（SWAT）模型获得的台地梯田参数集（BTPS）的可移植性，用于梯田农业集水区的实验点（Sbaihia）基于模型性能评估的接收方El-Gouazine集水区。在执行长凳台之前和之后，每天在El-Gouazine山湖上获得每日河道流量和多年的沉积记录，这为这一工作提供了便利。在梯田（1994-1996年）之前，使用SUFI2算法对SWAT模型进行了校准，以达到El-Gouazine流域的最佳模型参数集，从而实现了每日径流的纳什苏特克利夫效率（NSE）为0.57。引入SWAT模型以模拟后梯田（1998-2002年）流域动态的BT参数表明NSE为负，这强调了明显的水文变化通过BT。对Sbaihia流域获得的BTPS的考虑使1998年至2002年特定时期的日NSE增加到0.50。结果表明，使用SWAT模型作为集水之间的BT参数转移作为其他相关地表径流研究的可行选择的潜力根据与曲线数（CN）和改进的通用土壤流失方程（MUSLE）方法相关的描述性参数确定沉积物和泥沙的产量。BTPS可以在相似的环境和SWC环境中支持分水岭模型的建立，从而最终支持在数据稀缺的半干旱地区进行可持续的分水岭规划和管理。
