IGF refers to the naturally occurring groundwater flow beneath a topographic divide, which indicates that baseflow simulated by standard hydrological models may be substantially less than its actual magnitude. Identification and quantification of IGF is so difficult that most hydrological models use convenient simplifications to ignore it, leaving us with minimal knowledge of strategies to quantify it. The Castril River basin (CRB) was chosen to show this problematic and to propose the CMB method to assess the magnitude of the IGF contribution to baseflow. In this headwater area, which has null groundwater exploitation, the CMB method shows that yearly IGF hardly varies and represents about 51% of mean yearly baseflow. Based on this external IGF appraisal, simulated streamflow was corrected to obtain a reduction in the percent bias of the SWAT model, from 52.29 to 22.40. Corrected simulated streamflow was used during the SWAT model calibration and validation phases. The Nash\u2013Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) coefficient and the logarithmic values of NSE (lnNSE) were used for overall SWAT model performance. For calibration and validation, monthly NSE was 0.77 and 0.80, respectively, whereas daily lnNSE was 0.81 and 0.64, respectively. This methodological framework, which includes initial system conceptualization and a new formulation, provides a reproducible way to deal with similar basins, the baseflow component of which is strongly determined by IGF.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/w12030657","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,2]],"date-time":"2020-03-02T07:50:53Z","timestamp":1583135453000},"page":"657","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Coupling SWAT Model and CMB Method for Modeling of High-Permeability Bedrock Basins Receiving Interbasin Groundwater Flow"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1818-5811","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Javier","family":"Senent-Aparicio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica San Antonio de Murcia, Campus de los Jer\u00f3nimos s\/n, Guadalupe, 30107 Murcia, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8165-8669","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco J.","family":"Alcal\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geological Survey of Spain, R\u00edos Rosas, 23 28003 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Ciencias Qu\u00edmicas Aplicadas, Facultad de Ingenier\u00eda, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Chile, 7500138 Santiago, Chile"}]},{"given":"Sitian","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica San Antonio de Murcia, Campus de los Jer\u00f3nimos s\/n, Guadalupe, 30107 Murcia, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4733-7236","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patricia","family":"Jimeno-S\u00e1ez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica San Antonio de Murcia, Campus de los Jer\u00f3nimos s\/n, Guadalupe, 30107 Murcia, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"25","DOI":"10.1007\/s10750-011-0957-0","article-title":"A community\u2013based framework for aquatic ecosystem models","volume":"683","author":"Trolle","year":"2012","journal-title":"Hydrobiologia"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"177","DOI":"10.2166\/wst.2005.0166","article-title":"Model uncertainty-parameter uncertainty versus conceptual models","volume":"52","author":"Hojberg","year":"2005","journal-title":"Water Sci.
