What is it about?

We applied the GLUE uncertainty estimation approach to a detailed river basin model, showing how uncertainties in data and model parameters affect predictions of river flows and groundwater levels. By running thousands of model simulations, we explored which parameters matter most and how prediction confidence changes with new data and different likelihood measures.

Why is it important?

Understanding uncertainty is essential for reliable river basin management and flood forecasting. Our results help scientists and practitioners recognise the limits of model predictions and guide more robust decision-making, especially when using complex, distributed hydrological models.

Perspectives

This work bridges theory and practice by making advanced uncertainty analysis more accessible for catchment modelling. I hope it encourages more transparent and realistic evaluation of model predictions in water resources science.
