Dear colleague

We have spent the summer putting together a freely available web
site for evaluating hydrological models.

The site that can be used by hydrologists and other scientists to
evaluate their models using a wide range of statistical tests and
consistent measures of model performance. At present there is a
general lack of consistency in the way that hydrological models are
assessed, which makes comparison between studies difficult. The
HydroTest web site is intended to provide a set of benchmark
statistical tests to promote future transparency and consistency
between reported studies. In addition, the site will act as a forum
to encourage further discussion, debate and development of
performance measures and benchmark data.

You can access the site at:

www.hydrotest.org.uk

Please use it!
