| Zusammenfassung |
| This paper considers distributed hydrological models in hydrology as an
expression of a pragmatic realism. Some of the problems of distributed
modelling are discussed including the problem of nonlinearity, the problem of
scale, the problem of equifinality, the problem of uniqueness and
the problem of uncertainty. A structure for the application of distributed
modelling is suggested based on an uncertain or fuzzy landscape space
to model space mapping. This is suggested as the basis for an Alternative
Blueprint for distributed modelling in the form of an application
methodology. This Alternative Blueprint is scientific in that it allows for the
formulation of testable hypotheses. It focuses attention on the prior
evaluation of models in terms of physical realism and on the value of data in
model rejection. Finally, some unresolved questions that distributed
modelling must address in the future are outlined, together with
a vision for distributed modelling as a means of learning about places. |
