| Abstract | As an important tool for the description and analysis of hydrological processes, the watershed hydrological model has been increasingly applied to watershed hydrological simulations and water resource management. However, in most cases, model parameters are only determined in a calibration scheme which fits the modeled data to observations, thus significant uncertainties exist in the model parameters. How to quantitatively evaluate the uncertainties in model parameters and the resulting uncertainty impacts on model simulations has always been a question which has attracted much attention. In this study, two methods based on the bootstrap method (specifically, the model-based bootstrap and block bootstrap) are used to analyze the parameter uncertainties in the case of the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model applied to a hydrological simulation of the Dongliao River Watershed. Then, the uncertainty ranges of five sensitivity parameters are obtained. The calculated variation coefficients and the variable parameter contributions show that, among the five parameters, ESCO and CN2 have relatively high uncertainties: the variation coefficients and contribution rates are 23.98 and 70%, 14.43 and 18%, respectively. The three remaining parameters have relatively low uncertainties. We compare the two uncertainty ranges of parameters acquired by the two bootstrap methods, and find that the uncertainty ranges of parameters acquired by the block bootstrap are narrower than those acquired by the model-based bootstrap. Further analysis of the effects of parameter uncertainties on the model simulation reveals that the parameter uncertainties have great impacts on results of the model simulation, and in the model calibration stage 60%–70% of runoff observations were within the corresponding 95% confidence interval. The uncertainty in the model simulation during the flood season (i.e. the wet period) is relatively higher than that during the dry season. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
