Abstract:The authors aim providing a model evaluation framework for complex hydrological schemes, comprising a large number of unknown parameters. Taking as example the SWAT model, applied to two river basins in southern Minnesota, USA, they highlight several interesting issues, involving the choice, estimation and classification of parameters and the use of appropriate evaluation metrics, which are contrasted to single-objective calibration practices. In this context, they propose a three-stage procedure for parameter… Show more
