“…In order to improve the value of the evaluation metrics, it was necessary to increase the initial value of these parameters by 32 times, considering that the smaller adjustments presented little sensitivity. This excessive increase is justified in the case of RES_NSED, by the great uncertainty in its initial value, in which the mean value of SSC was used, obtained by point samplings performed by Zanin, Bonuma and Franco (2017). Now, for parameter RES_SED, in which the same initial value of RES_NSED was used, this excessive increase is justified, because of the reduction of the initial volume of the reservoir performed in the calibration of the water balance.…”
