| justification | Hydrological models simulate the quantity and quality of water in terrestrial water bodies, allowing projections of water security and hazards which will enable assessment of adaptation actions. Precipitation and PET are the required variables for a typical bucket-type hydrological model (https://hess.copernicus.org/articles/26/1755/2022/, Section 2.4). Hourly precipitation is shown to enable more robust hydrological simulations: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214581823002756?via%3Dihub#da0005 |
