DREAM<sub>(LoAX)</sub>: Simultaneous Calibration and Diagnosis for Tracer‐Aided Ecohydrological Models Under the Equifinality Thesis Open
The Limits of Acceptability approach has been demonstrated to be an effective conditioning tool due to its capacity to consider epistemic uncertainty. However, its application faces two challenges—the low efficiency when random sampling is…

On the value of a history of hydrology and the establishment of a History of Hydrology Working Group Open
This paper presents some of the reasons for studying the history of hydrology and for the formation of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) History of Hydrology Working Group. In particular, we consider the importa…

A short history of philosophies of hydrological model evaluation and hypothesis testing Open
This historical review addresses the issues of the evaluation and testing of hydrological models, with a focus on rainfall–runoff models. After a discussion of the general philosophies of hydrological modeling, nine different philosophies …

Evaluation of hydrological models at gauged and ungauged basins using machine learning-based limits-of-acceptability and hydrological signatures Open
Hydrological models are evaluated by comparisons with observed hydrological quantities such as streamflow. A model evaluation procedure should account for dominantly epistemic errors in hydrological data such as model input precipitation a…

On “The Science of Waters” by Père Jean François from 1653 Open
The early quantification of the catchment water balance in the 17th century has been well documented. But there is one book, called L'Hydrographe or La Science des Eaux, that was published by a Jesuit priest, Père Jean François, in Rennes …

Nature-based solutions for effective flood mitigation: potential design criteria Open
Few studies attempt to measure changes to discharge hydrographs during floods resulting from nature-based Solutions (NbS) for risk mitigation. The Q-NFM project in the UK has sought to measure and compare such changes for a wide range of N…

UPH Problem 20 – reducing uncertainty in model prediction: a model invalidation approach based on a Turing-like test Open
This study proposes using a Turing-like test for model evaluations and invalidations based on evidence of epistemic uncertainties in event runoff coefficients. Applying the consequent “limits of acceptability” results in all the 100 000 mo…

The importance of retention times in Natural Flood Management interventions Open
The starting point for this study is the simulation study of Metcalfe et al. (2018) which suggested that retention times of the order of 10 h are required for natural flood management storage features to have a maximum effect on large flow…

A brief history of information and disinformation in hydrological data and the impact on the evaluation of hydrological models Open
This paper considers what we know about the potential for disinformation in hydrological data when used for the evaluation of hydrological models. This will generally arise from epistemic uncertainties associated with hydrological observat…

Revisiting the common approaches for hydrological model calibration with high-dimensional parameters and objectives  Open
Successful calibration of distributed hydrological models is often hindered by complex model structures, incommensurability between observed and modeled variables, and the complex nature of many hydrological processes. Many approaches have…

Comment on hess-2023-164 Open
Abstract. Hydrological models are widely used to research hydrological change and risk. Yet, the power embedded in the modelling process and outcomes are often concealed by claiming its neutrality. Our systematic review shows that in scien…

Comment on hess-2023-187 Open
Abstract. A series of numerical experiments were conducted to test the connection between streamflow hydrographs at the outlet of large watersheds and the time-series of hillslope-scale runoff yield. We used a distributed hydrological rout…

Abstract. The comparison of models in geosciences involves refining a single model or comparing various model structures. However, such model comparison studies are potentially invalid without considering the uncertainty estimates of obser…

Time‐Variability of Flow Recession Dynamics: Application of Machine Learning and Learning From the Machine Open
Flow recession analysis, relating discharge Q and its time rate of change − dQ / dt , has been widely used to understand catchment scale flow dynamics. However, data points in the recession plot, the plot of − dQ / dt versus Q , typically …
