Abstract
A procedure is developed by which the variance of each fitted parameter of a watershed model can be determined. This information can be used to determine the degree to which the model parameters can be related to physical watershed characteristics. The method is illustrated by applying the Boughton model to several watersheds and examining the coefficient of variation of each optimized parameter.Keywords
