“…At this point, the global sensitivity analysis (GSA) is vital for investigating the effects of parameters systematically and the uncertainty of simulation results, thereby enhancing the interpretation of the system (Saltelli and Annoni 2010). A variety of GSA techniques have been applied to hydrogeological models, such as the screening method (Saltelli et al, 2008), regression analysis (Tiscareno-Lopez et al, 1993), meta-modeling method (Petropoulos et al, 2009), variance-based method (Xia et al, 2018), etc. Based on sensitivity analysis of fitting parameters in the two-layer incomplete mixing model (Tong et al, 2010) with different adsorption equations (such as α, γ, h mix , k d , K, S max , and N).…”
