Abstract
Single hydrological model or model calibrated on single objective function often cannot capture all components of a water motion process. One possibility is building several specialized models each of which responsible for a particular sub-process (e.g., high flows or low flows), and combining them using dynamic weights – thus forming a committee model. In this study, we test two different committee models: one uses fuzzy memberships function and
another one - weights calculated from hydrological states. Specialized models are calibrated using Adaptive Cluster Covering Algorithm with different objective functions. The performances of the two different committee models are illustrated and compared.
