abstract = {A groundwater model characterized by a lack of field data
about hydraulic model parameters and boundary conditions
combined with many observation data sets for calibration
purpose was investigated concerning model uncertainty. Seven
different conceptual models with a stepwise increase from 0
to 30 adjustable parameters were calibrated using PEST.
Residuals, sensitivities, the Akaike information criterion
(AIC and AICc), Bayesian information criterion (BIC), and
Kashyap's information criterion (KIC) were calculated for a
set of seven inverse calibrated models with increasing
complexity. Finally, the likelihood of each model was
computed. Comparing only residuals of the different
conceptual models leads to an overparameterization and
certainty loss in the conceptual model approach. The model
employing only uncalibrated hydraulic parameters, estimated
from sedimentological information, obtained the worst AIC,
BIC, and KIC values. Using only sedimentological data to
derive hydraulic parameters introduces a systematic error
into the simulation results and cannot be recommended for
generating a valuable model. For numerical investigations
with high numbers of calibration data the BIC and KIC select
as optimal a simpler model than the AIC. The model with 15
adjusted parameters was evaluated by AIC as the best option
and obtained a likelihood of $98\%.$ The AIC disregards the
potential model structure error and the selection of the KIC
is, therefore, more appropriate. Sensitivities to
piezometric heads were highest for the model with only five
adjustable parameters and sensitivity coefficients were
directly influenced by the changes in extracted groundwater
volumes.},
