The scientific methodology of mathematical models and their credibility to form the basis of public policy
decisions have been frequently challenged. The development of novel
methods for rigorously assessing the
uncertainty underlying model predictions is one of the priorities...
The parsimonious model structures of semi
-empirical conceptual
watershed models (e.g., SPARROW,
GREEN) offer
considerable advantages over physically
-based watershed models to incorporate stream
water monitoring data and
effectively accommodate rigorous error analysis....
