The webinar will start explaining why uncertainty assessments are important for hydrological modellling. Then commonly used uncertainty concepts and terminologies are explained and discussed – what is uncertainty and how can it be characterized? This will be followed by an introduction to a broad range of methods that can be used to estimate uncertainty, such as error propagation, Monte Carlo analysis, ensemble modelling and expert elicitation. Application of some of the uncertainty methods/tools will be illustrated by examples from practical cases, including a case study on observational and model predictive uncertainties in relation to distributed hydrological modelling. At last, it is discussed why water managers need to consider uncertainty when using hydrological models.
