In the aspect of robustness and suitability of models to a certain watershed depends on the watershed's conditions which are flatness, storage capacity of surface, climate, precipitation distribution and water table level. The success of model predictions related with the selection of the model which will be used for certain watershed. This comparative study investigates various hydrological models' strengths and weaknesses of the respects of cost indication, climatic conditions and hydrological regimes, sensitivity analysis, ability to be used with other models, availability in the market, spatial and temporal resolution and needed user skills. In the light of this comparative study; SWAT, HSPF and HEC-HMS models have been achieved the best results within these respects. Therefore these models may be applied to Salt Lake Basin for further development of this study.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHydrological modelComparison of modelsWatershed managementSalt Lake BasinConference Object629636N/AWOS:000275795400080N/A
