“…The entropy theory has been commonly used in hydrology for various applications, including probability inferences [37,38], parameter estimation [25,39], frequency analysis [1], geo-statistical modeling [6,[40][41][42], uncertainty or variability analysis [43,44], regionalization [45] and network design [46][47][48]. For a detailed review of applications of entropy in hydrology and water resources, the readers are referred to [6,[8][9][10].…”
