Abstract: A new catchment calibration approach based on the fractional-factorial and central-composite designs (FFD-CCD) is presented in this paper. The proposed method requires fewer simulations (almost 75% less) than the approach ...

Abstract: The success of a catchment model is known to depend a great deal on the catchment-model calibration scheme applied to it. This paper presents the application of a genetic algorithm (GA) in the search for the optimal values ...
