The work presented in this manuscript is based on the first author’s Ph.D. - Identification of parsimonious rainfall-runoff models for gauged and un¬ gauged catchments. A Ph.D. is very much like building a house; years of hard work, and not possible without the help of a great number of people. Thorsten Wagener would therefore like to give thanks to some important people during this project.Such a project is usually initiated by someone who is willing to fund the house and to provide some initial ideas; thanks to Howard Wheater and Matthew Lees, especially for their continued support and constructive criti¬cism on my changing blueprints. In addition thanks to Matthew for his con¬tributions to the tools developed. Also thanks to the Natural Environment Research Council for grant GR3/11653, which was used to finance building the house. Thanks to the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) Science and Technology Center (STC) for Sustainability of semi-Arid Hydrology and Riparian Areas (SAHRA; EAR-9876800) for funding to paint and decorate the house. Then there is the architect, who advises you that saddle roofs are totally out of fashion and that one should rethink what we mean by a house any¬ way. Thanks to Hoshin Gupta, for switching on some lights.
