Hydrological modelling of the Chaohe Basin in China: Statistical model formulation and Bayesian inference

TLDR
In this paper, the authors developed a procedure to overcome the problem of non-identifiability of distributed parameters by introducing aggregate parameters and using Bayesian inference, and they demonstrated the good performance of this approach to uncertainty analysis, particularly with respect to the fulfilment of statistical assumptions of the error model.

Comparing uncertainty analysis techniques for a SWAT application to the Chaohe Basin in China

TL;DR: Five uncertainty analysis procedures for watershed models are compared and if computationally feasible, Bayesian-based approaches are most recommendable because of their solid conceptual basis, but construction and test of the likelihood function requires critical attention.

Parameter and modeling uncertainty simulated by GLUE and a formal Bayesian method for a conceptual hydrological model

TL;DR: The main findings of the study are that the parameter posterior distributions generated by the Bayesian method are slightly less scattered than those by the GLUE method, and GLUE is sensitive to the threshold value used to select behavioral parameter sets resulting in a wider uncertainty interval of the posterior distribution of parameters, and a wider confidence interval of model uncertainty.

Hydrological Modelling in the Lake Tana Basin, Ethiopia Using SWAT Model

TL;DR: In this article, the SWAT2005 model was applied to the Lake Tana Basin for modeling of the hydrological water balance and the sensitivity analysis of the model to sub-basin delineation and HRU definition thresholds showed that the flow is more sensitive to the HRU defined thresholds than subbasin discretization effect.

Modelling blue and green water resources availability in Iran

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used SWAT and SUFI-2 to calibrate and validate a hydrologic model of Iran based on river discharges and wheat yield, taking into consideration dam operations and irrigation practices.

So just why would a modeller choose to be incoherent

TL;DR: This article provides an extended response to the criticisms of the GLUE methodology by Mantovan and Todini and shows that the formal Bayesian identification of models is a special case of GLUE that can be used where the modeller is prepared to make very strong assumptions about the nature of the modelling errors.

An Analysis of Transformations

TL;DR: In this article, Lindley et al. make the less restrictive assumption that such a normal, homoscedastic, linear model is appropriate after some suitable transformation has been applied to the y's.

Large Area Hydrologic Modeling and Assessment Part i: Model Development

TL;DR: A conceptual, continuous time model called SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) was developed to assist water resource managers in assessing the impact of management on water supplies and nonpoint source pollution in watersheds and large river basins as discussed by the authors.
