Model calibration and streamflow simulations for the extreme drought event of 2018 on the Rhine River Basin using WRF-Hydro 5.2.0

This repository contains the data and software used for the study "Model calibration and streamflow simulations for the extreme drought event of 2018 on the Rhine River Basin using WRF-Hydro 5.2.0." The data and model were used to simulate an extreme low-water event in the River Rhine Basin.
