| One-line model description | Water Balance/Transport Model |
| Extended model description | Gridded water balance model using climate input forcings that calculate surface and subsurface runoff and ground water recharge for each grid cell. The surface and subsurface runoff is propagated horizontally along a prescribed gridded network using Musking type horizontal transport. |

| Input - Output description | |
|---|---|
| Describe input parameters | depending on configuration, the model can be run with Air temperature and Precipitation only. In the most complex configuration, the model will also need vapor pressure, solar radiation, wind, daily minimum and maximum temperature. Built-in functions allow trading input variables (e.g. use cloud cover instead of solar radiation). |
| Input format | Binary |
| Other input format | |
| Describe output parameters | The model can output any variables used for the water balance and transport calculations. The most frequently requested ones are: potential and actual evapotranspiration, soil moisture, groundwater storage, river discharge, irrigational water uptake. |
| Output format | Binary |
| Other output format | |
| Pre-processing software needed? | No |
| Describe pre-processing software | |
| Post-processing software needed? | Yes |
| Describe post-processing software | The model is integrated into the in-house developed Global Hydrological Archive and Analysis System (GHAAS), which has a rich set of GIS tools. |
| Visualization software needed? | No |
| If above answer is yes | ESRI, IDL, Matlab |
| Other visualization software | GHAAS |
