Short Summary

This study presents a bibliometric analysis of the evolution of hydrological modeling techniques for sustainable water resources management, highlighting research gaps and future directions.

Objective

• Investigate the development and application of hydrological models in various regions, particularly in areas with data scarcity.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Global, with focus on developing countries
• Temporal Scale: 1990-2022

Methodology and Data

• Models used: Physics-based, data-driven, hybrid (ISBA, mHM)
• Data sources: Satellite (e.g., TRMM), reanalysis datasets (e.g., ERA5)

Main Results

• Growing interest in data-driven and hybrid approaches for hydrological modeling.
• Consistent gaps in validation of ungauged basins, studies in sub-Saharan Africa, and treatment of model uncertainty.

Contributions

• Consolidation of bibliometric analysis to guide future investigations for sustainable water resources management.
• Identification of research gaps and potential areas for improvement in hydrological modeling techniques.
