Choosing the right model (structure) for a given purpose, catchment, and data situation is a critical task in the modeling chain. However, despite model intercomparison studies, hypothesis testing approaches with flexible modelling frameworks, and continuous efforts in model development/improvement, there are still no clear guidelines for choosing an optimal model structure. We introduce a framework for Automatic Model Structure Identification (AMSI) based on the combination of the flexible hydrological model Raven and the heuristic global optimization algorithm DDS. It is the first demonstration of mixed-integer optimization algorithms to simultaneously optimize model structure choices (integer decision variables) and parameter values (continuous decision variables) in hydrologic modelling. Thus, AMSI is able to sift through a vast number of combinations for a given model and parameter space in order to\ {\textellipsis}

Watershed discretization attempts to capture the important spatial variability which controls the hydrological response of a basin, while simultaneously minimizing model complexity. This process may result in a level of information loss relative to the raw data (eg, DEM information) and thus the structure uncertainty of a hydrological model. To justify a discretization scheme, it is important to understand the impacts of the associated information loss.

In the past, crop and livestock production were typically more integrated, allowing most livestock to be fed by local crops, and most livestock manure to be applied directly to nearby cropland. Under current intensive agriculture practices, however, there is frequently a spatial decoupling of crops and livestock, leading to hot spots of manure production and a lack of opportunities for cost-efficient and environmentally sensitive disposal.

These models are parameterized and, as such, are mere approximations of the real hydrologic system. Hence, initial states of the model might not always match the current states of the system after more than a few days of open-loop simulations. An analyst therefore usually adjusts model states or input variables such that the model meets the current states of the system. The automatized version of this process is called data assimilation. The short-term impacts of such adjustments are mostly predictable while long-term effects are harder to foresee. The performance of the assimilation is measured by comparing the improvement of forecasts compared to an open-loop simulation where no adjustment is applied.

Options include model structural uncertainty, model parameter uncertainty and model calibration period data uncertainty (eg, climate inputs or streamflow measurements). A related decision involves whether or not to utilize a distributed/semi-distributed hydrological model in the forecast system in place of an ensemble of easier to construct lumped parameter hydrologic models.
