Systematic testing of parameterizations
to account for land cover changes in the GR4J model
Vazken Andréassian
Hydrosystems and Bioprocesses Research Unit, Irstea, Antony, France
Introduction
This presentation:
• is based on data made available for the workshop (3 forested/deforested catchments + 2 urbanizing catchments)
• uses as example a single rainfall-runoff model (GR4J)

Dealing with changes within a conceptual model
• Models are simplification of the physical reality

Dealing with changes within a conceptual model
• Dealing with changing catchments is difficult with any model, but:
– within a physically-faithful model representation, the solution to account for the change is imposed
– within a conceptual model, the solution is not imposed, several possibilities exist
Dealing with changes within GR4J
Calibration strategy
• First calibrate a ‘central parameter set’ on the entire time series ( )
• Allow only one parameter to vary on each successive sub-periods (recalibration)

Questions asked
• Is there a solution better than the others?
• Can the variations of the recalibrated parameter be correlated to land use?

Conclusion
• A diagnostic which– opens the way towards a parameterization of land-
use changes
– remains (necessarily) model-specific
Limits
• More case studies are needed for more general results
• Be careful with parameter interactions within the model
