Short summary
In Colombia there are many areas with little or no hydrometeorological information that would allow for adequate water resource management, especially in times of low supply of the resource. In this work, several modeling techniques are implemented to generate data grids of meteorological variables that allow for reliable calculations of the potential recharge of aquifers, controlling uncertainties.
