The open source R language contains packages, i.e. organized gatherings of functions, that enable us to perform all steps necessary to undertake hydrological modelling (Slater et al., 2019). Especially, several hydrological models are proposed in R (Astagneau et al., 2021). In this webinar, we will give an overview of available R packages for hydrological modelling and develop the possibilities of a specific package, airGR (Coron et al., 2017), which contains among others the GR4J rainfall-runoff model.
