Multi-objective calibration of Tank model using multiple genetic algorithms and stopping criteria

ABSTRACT Calibration of hydrologic models estimates parameter values that cannot be measured and enable the rainfall-runoff processes simulation. Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms can make the calibration faster and more efficient through an iterative process. However, the standard stopping cr...

description ABSTRACT Calibration of hydrologic models estimates parameter values that cannot be measured and enable the rainfall-runoff processes simulation. Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms can make the calibration faster and more efficient through an iterative process. However, the standard stopping criterion used to stop the iterative process is to reach a pre-defined number of iterations defined by the modeller. Alternatively, the Ticona stopping criterion is based on the minimum number of iterations required to achieve a determined number of non-dominated solutions in the Pareto front, resulting in a reduction of the computational time without losing performance during the calibration processes. We evaluated the Ticona stopping criterion in the Tank Model calibration. The calibration processes were performed using data from two river basins, with three genetic algorithms and two objective functions. The Ticona stopping criterion required a computational time 27.4% to 44.1% lower than using the standard stopping criterion and were obtaining similar results in simulated streamflow time series and similar values of the best set of parameters.
