What is it about?
This study introduces an easy-to-use method to account for uncertainty in river discharge data when modelling water flow in catchments. By adjusting standard model evaluation techniques to account for uncertainty in stage–discharge relationships, the approach helps scientists and water managers better understand and trust the results of hydrological models.

Why is it important?
Accurately modelling river flow is crucial for water management, but measurement uncertainty is often ignored in practice. Our approach makes it practical for non-expert users to consider uncertainty, leading to more robust model predictions and better decision-making for flood risk, water allocation, or planning in data-limited regions.
Perspectives
I hope this work empowers more practitioners to incorporate uncertainty into their modelling, even without advanced statistical tools, helping to bridge the gap between research and real-world water management.
