Thinking inside the box: Using reservoir levels to improve a conceptual rainfall-runoff model in the Umbeluzi River Basin

The development of a conceptual rainfall-runoff model generally requires calibration to obtain non-observable parameters. This becomes especially difficult in river basins where data are absent, frequently intermittent or inaccurate. Rainfall-runoff models are usually calibrated on discharge data that are derived from stage observations by means...
