Assessing the impact of areal precipitation input on streamflow simulations using the SWAT model by Masih, Ilyas, Maskey, S., Uhlenbrock, Silke, Smakhtin, Vladimir U.

“…The model performance is evaluated at daily, monthly, and annual scales by using a number of performance indicators at 15 streamflow gauging stations each draining an area in the range of 590-42,620 km2. The comparison suggests that the use of areal precipitation improves model performance particularly in small subcatchments in the range of 600-1,600 km2. …”
