Figure 7.  An example of the global sensitivity analysis results obtained for the ETPV model. Shown here is the contribution of the first-layer hydraulic conductivity values to the RMSE measure in terms of (a) the first-order Sobol' index and (b) the total Sobol' index. The first-layer hydraulic conductivity zonation consists of five zones (c). The elevation of the top of model (d) is also shown.
