Inter-comparison of lumped hydrological models in data-scarce watersheds using different precipitation forcing data sets: Case study of Northern Ontario, Canada

Study region Big East River and Black River watersheds in Northern Ontario, Canada as snow-dominated, data-poor case studies. Study focus In this study, seven lumped conceptual models were thoroughly compared in order to determine the best performing model for reproducing different components of the hydrograph, including low and high flows in data-poor catchments. All models were calibrated using five various objective functions for reducing …
