  abstract = {{T}he present work reports on the study and the comparison of the performance of three "{G}enie rural" ({GR}) and two {W}ater {B}alance ({WB}) models. {T}he calibration and robustness performances are analysed in the light of the hydro-climatic conditions. {T}he study shows that the {GR} models are much more efficient and robust than the {WB} models. {T}he behaviour of calibration performance as a function of hydroclimatic variables varies according to the model and goodness-of-fit criteria ({GOFC}). {T}he {GR} models are more robust in terms of {NSE}({Q}) and {NSE}( root {Q}) and the {WB} models in terms of {KGE}. {F}or more robustness of the models, it is better to transfer the parameters to wetter periods or periods with a lower {P}otential {E}vapo{T}ranspiration ({PET}) than the calibration period. {F}or a loss of robustness of less than 20% for {GR} and 30% for {WB}, the variation between calibration and rain validation/{PET} periods must be around +/- 15%/+/- 1.5%.},
