TLDR
A diagnostically interesting decomposition of NSE is presented, which facilitates analysis of the relative importance of its different components in the context of hydrological modelling, and it is shown how model calibration problems can arise due to interactions among these components.About:

Hydrologic and Water Quality Models: Performance Measures and Evaluation Criteria
TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis of performance data reported in recent peer-reviewed literature for three widely published watershed-scale models (SWAT, HSPF, WARMF), and one field-scale model (ADAPT) is performed.

TL;DR: The Prediction in Ungauged Basins (PUB) initiative of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) launched in 2003 and concluded by the PUB Symposium 2012 held in Delft (23-25 October 2012), set out to shift the scientific culture of hydrology towards improved scientific understanding of hydrological processes, as well as associated uncertainties and the development of models with increasing realism and predictive power as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The GLUE procedure works with multiple sets of parameter values and allows that, within the limitations of a given model structure and errors in boundary conditions and field observations, different sets of values may be equally likely as simulators of a catchment.

Comparison of different efficiency criteria for hydrological model assessment
TL;DR: In this paper, the utility of several efficiency criteria is investigated in three examples using a simple observed streamflow hydrograph, and the selection and use of specific efficiency criteria and interpretation of the results can be a challenge for even the most experienced hydrologist since each criterion may place different emphasis on different types of simulated and observed behaviours.
