I hold environmental engineering B.S. and M.S. degrees from Middle East Technical University (Turkey) and biological systems engineering Ph.D. from University of Wisconsin-Madison. I have been in environmental science/engineering research area for +15 years. This blog is designed to share the knowledge and tips that can be beneficial for fellow researchers.

SEDP is Considered as ORGP after Routed to Reach
SEDP in output.hru is defined as `Mineral phosphorus attached to sediment that is transported by surface runoff into reach during time step.` in `SWAT Input Output Documentation Version 2012`
When you read this definition, you may assume that SEDP is added to MINP when it is routed to main reach (just like I did!).
However, this assumption is false.
SEDP is actually added to ORGP and reported in ORGP_IN and ORGP_OUT of output.rch.
On the other hand, ORGP in output.hru is `Organic P exported from HRU via subsurface flow (lateral+base flow) only`.
I will dig the code when I have time and provide the evidence for it when I have spare time.
