Short summary
We evaluate the historical performance and future projections from a large-scale hydrologic model, the Community Water Model, against a watershed hydrologic model, Variable Infiltration Capacity, for the Liard River basin in Canada. Results from the two models are generally consistent at annual and monthly timescales, suggesting that a calibrated global hydrologic model can provide robust projections. We explain the differences in projections in terms of model uncertainties.
