Predictions of the GLEAMS, RUSLE, EPIC, and WEPP models were compared with actual runoff and soil loss datameasured at the North Carolina A&T State University Farm located in Greensboro, N.C. No calibration was done in choosingmodel parameters. Inputs for the models were measured on-site or were taken from literature and model editors. None of themodels predicted runoff and soil loss satisfactorily. Furthermore, they considerably varied in their runoff and soil loss predictions.These preliminary conclusions were based on only 17 months of observed runoff and soil loss data.
