Model Equifinality

Model Equifinality is a phenomenon in hydrological modeling where distinct parameter sets or structurally different models yield equally acceptable simulations of observed runoff, reflecting the inability to uniquely identify a single best model or parameterization due to limitations in data, model structure, or system observability.
