The surface and groundwater hydrology of a karst catchment located in Belgium was modelled using the distributed physically based code MIKE SHE. The calibration and validation processes were carried out through a common split-sample (i.e., temporal) analysis as well as through a more specialised multi-site (i.e., spatial) analysis. Further, a sensitivity analysis was run varying the calibrated parameters beyond their calibration values, which showed that the most sensitive parameter for the simulation of both surface as well groundwater flows, is the horizontal hydraulic conductivity of the karst layer, in congruence to what has been observed in situ. Both, the surface and groundwater model predictions can be regarded as being satisfactory,
