The water yield component of the SWRRB model was validated in a watershed of 125 ha, permanent stream flow, 35 percentage of steep gradient, sandy loam soils, seasonal rainfall and grassland vegetation, in Macapo, Cojedes State, Venezuela. Water yield was measured with a Stevens water level recorder installed in a gauge channel, and compared to the predicted water yield by the model. Using directs inputs, the model underestimated water yield (with relative differences between -100 and +800 percentage). In almost all cases, as well as rainy days, surface runoff was ignored. Base flow was ignored by the model. Subsurface runoff was the more important flow in terms of model perfomance. Flows behavior can be caused by the underestimation of the CN at the high values of retention constants. Using indirect inputs, it was obtained a higher, but more variable, water yield. Water yield was found very sensitive to Curve Number, Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity and Available Water Content, this shows the involved risk in the application of the model when estimated inputs are used. SWRRB must not be used for detailed planning and design in small watershed, but it may be useful to evaluate watershed degradation and response trends in terms of land use and management changes.
