Hydrological model simulations are affected by parameters derived from DEMs with different resolutions, which describes the watershed features. The upper range of Luohe River was selected to simulate runoff and sediment yields using the GIS-based SWAT model with four DEM resolutions. The results showed no differences among derived watershed parameters under varying resolutions of DEM, but greater differences for derived slopes. It is important to modify slopes for simulations of runoff and sediment yields. Compared with the lowest resolution of DEM, the changes for the runoff of the highest resolution of DEM was 9.12%~19.52% during 1997~1999, and the changes for the simulated sediment yields of the highest resolution of DEM was 42.25%~49.7% during 1997~1999. In addition, seasonal rainfall distribution and intensity had effects on the simulations.
