HydroBudget is a spatially distributed groundwater recharge model that computes a superficial water budget on grid cells with outputs aggregated into monthly time steps. It was developed as an accessible and computationally affordable model to simulate groundwater recharge over large areas (thousands of km2, regional-scale watersheds) and for long time periods (decades), in cold and humid climates. Model algorithms are based on the research of Dubois, E. et al. (2021a) <doi:10.5683/SP3/EUDV3H> and Dubois, E. et al. (2021b) <doi:10.5194/hess-25-6567-2021>.
