SourceObjectivesRegionMethodologyFindings

[72]Assessed the predictions of regular streamflow by applying two basic theoretical models and one complex model to four major watercoursesBlue Nile flow at the Ethiopian-Sudanese borderRainfall-runoff models, GR4 J, IHACRES, and SWAT were chosen to evaluate the hydrological processesThe GR4 J model produced the best results for the Ribb watershed, the SWAT model for the Gilgel Abay watershed, and the IHACRES model for the Gummera and Megech watersheds

[73]Determined the parametric uncertainty in hydrological modelling using generalised likelihood uncertainty estimation (GLUE)Kootenay watershed, CanadaThe hydrological model employed in this study was the simple LUmped reservoir parametric (SLURP) modelThe model predicted the outflows with reasonable accuracy and hence could be used for future modelling of similar watersheds

[74]Variable infiltration capacity model (VIC), TOPMODEL, HBV, MIKESHE, and soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) modelUse of existing literaturesSWAT model requires just a little direct calibration to achieve satisfactory hydrological projections

[75]Assessment of the impact of climate change on the hydrological regime of the Paraguaçu River BasinParaguaçu River Basin, northeastern BrazilHydrological impact simulations were conducted using the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) for 2020–2040The bias correction algorithm plays a significant role when assessing climate model estimates and their applicability to hydrological modelling

[76]MIKE SHE, a hydrological modelling system, was used to simulate surface flow as runoff and underground drainage via infrastructure for draining surfacesArgesel RiverMIKE SHE modelling system was usedThe soil type has an effect on the functions of infiltration/evapotranspiration and recharge, and the matrix of hydraulic conductivity is the dominant parameter at the saturated zone level

[77]Evaluation of the capability of the hydrological model catchment simulation (CSIM) to characterize the seasonal and regional differences in river dischargeBaltic sea drainage basin (BSDB)Spatiotemporal bias was used in the allocation of monthly modelling errors over the BSDBThe CSIM model reproduced the yearly flows over the BSDB with precision

[78]Examine the role of hydrological models in complexityFrance, the United States, Australia, the Ivory Coast, and BrazilA detailed comparative performance assessment of 19 daily lumped models systems was performed on 429 catchmentsThe arrangement of components is not appropriate for extracting information in the hydrological time series

[79]Review of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis of models of soil water flowUse of existing literaturesIf models become more user-friendly (or tolerant) and perceive heterogeneity, the likelihood that they will be adopted by the wider model user community will increase

[80]System definition and algorithms used to measure the different components of hydrologyNorth CarolinaCalibration of DRAINMOD with 2-year site data for underground drained farmingDRAINMOD is a process based model, distributed on a field scale that can explain poorly drained and artificially drained soil hydrology

[81]Studied the effects on runoff and water balance of the soil characteristicsRibb and GumaraThe soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) was employed to simulate surface runoff responseThe SWAT model gets well observed flow with a Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) exceeding 0.74 and PBIAS exceeding 10% for the period of the calibration and verification
