Abstract:
The level of spatial and vertical detail of important hydrologic processes within a watershed that needs to be represented by a conceptual rainfall-runoff (CRR) model in order to accurately simulate the streamflow is not well understood. The paucity of high-resolution hydrologic information in the past guided the direction of model development to more accurately represent processes directly related to the vertical movement of moisture within the watershed rather than the spatial variability of these processes. As a result, many of the CRR models currently available are so complex (vertically),

<p> Multi-model analysis (MMA) considers multiple model interpretations of a system.

IC equations are designed to assess the likelihood that a model in a set of models represents the true but unknown system. IC equations do not include a component
