Results of Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) NSE>0.6: reasonableNSE>0.8: good Blue: the calibration in each period Red: the validation in the complete period Black: the calibration in the complete period Best 7
Results of Bias (Sim/Obs) : reasonable : good 8 Blue: the calibration in each period Red: the validation in the complete period Black: the calibration in the complete period
What will happen if in flood frequency design? Model (NSE): max Q 9
Conclusions: … XAJ model is the best, and limited. New measuring technology is needed Model structures need to be updated or modified 10 KEEP BUSY!!!
