The hazards of split-sample validation in hydrological model calibration

•Calibration on full time series is shown to be more robust than split-sample methods.•30 Bootstrapping tests on 6 cases provide evidence towards this method being optimal.•Verification on 10 independent catchment-model pairs support the conclusions.•Caveats of split-sampling on model performance ar...
