SIMHYD and TANK model are used to predict time series of daily rainfall-runoff of Soyang Dam and Youngcheon Dam watershed. The performances of SIMHYD model with 7 parameters and TANK model with17 parameters are compared. Three optimization methods (Genetic algorithm, Pattern search multi-start and Shuffled Complex Evolution algorithm) were applied to study-areas with 3 different types of objective functions. Efficiency of TANK model is higher than that of SIMHYD. Among different types of objective function, Nash-sutcliffe coefficient is found to be the most appropriateobjective function to evaluate applicability of model.
