In this paper, we analyze how our evaluation of the capacity of a rainfall-runoff model to represent low or high flows depends on the objective function used during the calibration process. We present a method to combine models to produce a more satisfactory streamflow simulation, on the basis of two different parameterizations of the same model. Where we previously had to choose between a more efficient simulation for either high flows or low flows (but inevitably less efficient in the other range), we show that a balanced simulation can be obtained by using a seasonal index to weigh the two simulations, providing good efficiency in both low and high flows.
