Impact of spatial aggregation of inputs and parameters on the efficiency of rainfall-runoff models: A theoretical study using chimera watersheds

This paper examines the respective merits of aggregative and disaggregative approaches in hydrological modeling and aims at determining how to identify the most appropriate level of spatial distribution in rainfall‐runoff modeling. The lumped approach is compared with two types of semidistributed ap...
