ParFlow is a scientifically rigorous hydrologic model; however, its application by the broader community has been limited to a degree by its technical complexity which creates a high barrier to entry for new users. Intensive training and hydrologic expertise is required to appropriately build a ParFlow model from scratch.

`SubsetTools` is a Python package that seeks to lower the barrier to entry by allowing a user to subset published and verified ParFlow inputs and model configurations to build their own watershed models. These tools allow a user to set up and run a model in a matter of minutes, rather than weeks or months. `SubsetTools` is designed to interface with the [first](https://hydroframe.org/parflow-conus1) [@RN257; @RN257; @RN353]and [second](https://hydroframe.org/parflow-conus2) [@RN352] generation ParFlow configurations which provide model inputs for the contiguous United States (CONUS).

The source code for `SubsetTools` is available on [GitHub](https://github.com/hydroframe/subsettools). The documentation for the package is hosted on [ReadTheDocs](https://hydroframesubsettools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) and includes installation instructions, short tutorials, example notebooks, a complete API reference, as well as contributing guidelines. In the section below we will go through an abbreviated outline of how a user can interact with `SubsetTools` to build and run their own ParFlow model.

In the section below we will go through an abbreviated outline of how a user can interact with `SubsetTools` to build and run their own ParFlow model.

First, the user should supply information about what geographic area they want to model. This may be given as a hydrologic unit code (HUC) or list of HUCs, a bounding box or a single point of latitude and longitude. The user should also specify timing information such as a date range for their simulation. Finally, they should choose what dataset they would like to use in their simulation, for example CONUS1 or CONUS2.
