Model building is a fragile and complex process especially in the context of real cases. Each real case problem has its own characteristics with new concepts and conditions. A correct model should have some essential characteristics such as: being compatible with real conditions, being of sufficient accuracy, being logically traceable and etc. This paper discusses how to build an efficient mode...

The reliability and applicability of hydrological models within ecohydrological frameworks are major concerns. Two multi-objective model calibration strategies were formulated to achieve a balanced representation ecologically relevant hydrologic indices. approaches employed: 1) performance-based method constraining the targeted indices 2) an unconstrained signature-based explicitly incorporatin...
