Summary:Hydrological modeling is a technique for monitoring a region’s water resources. The WRF-Hydro model is a powerful system for this type of study and it is attracting more and more attention from the academic community. Studying the hydrology of a region involves several physical components sensitive to the occurrence of precipitation. Thus, to verify whether a hydrological model effectively simulates parameters such as evapotranspiration, surface runoff, or river flow, it has to be effective in estimating precipitation. Therefore, this work evaluates the performance of the precipitation simulation of the WRF-Hydro system in the Brazilian region named MATOPIBA, located in North and northeast Brazil. The simulation presented a good correlation with the observed data, showing itself as promising.
