description Having systematic simulation and optimization models with high computational accuracy is one of the most important problems in developing decision support systems.

The introduced structure aims to achieve the highest possible level of consistency, which is estimated by using different criteria, between model results and observed data at several control points of surface flows. The introduced strategy was put to the test in developing a water resources model for the Great Karun Watershed, Iran, and was found to produce accurate results compared to some other well-known optimization algorithms such as GA, HS, PSO, SGHS, EMPSO, and SaMeS. In an attempt to determine the effect of calibration on water resources system modeling, 16 calibration models of different dimensions are developed and their computational costs are compared in terms of their computation time and effects on the accuracy of the results. HIGHLIGHTS A modified version of melody search algorithm is proposed to calibrate distributed water resources simulation models.; The efficiency of the proposed algorithm in solving calibration problems is evaluated compared to some other well-known metaheuristic algorithms.; The effect of calibration dimension on the result accuracy and the computational cost of the calibration process are considered using 16 different models.;
