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: General classes of direct value comparison, coupling real and modelled values, preserving data patterns, indirect metrics based on parameter values, and data transformations are discussed.

Improvement of a parsimonious model for streamflow simulation
TL;DR: The GR4J model as discussed by the authors is a daily lumped rainfall-runoff model which is the result of a continuous improvement process over the last 15 years, and it provides the mathematical formulation of a new four-parameter version of the model.

MIRCA2000—Global monthly irrigated and rainfed crop areas around the year 2000: A new high‐resolution data set for agricultural and hydrological modeling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a global data set of monthly irrigated and rainfed crop areas around the year 2000 (MIRCA2000) with a spatial resolution of 5 arc min (about 9.2 km at the equator).

River flow forecasting through conceptual models part III - The Ray catchment at Grendon Underwood
TL;DR: In this paper, methods of modeling the runoff process on the Ray catchment are described, which depend on soil moisture accounting and simple descriptions of the generation of runoff and of routing.
