  abstract = {{I}n data-sparse regions and in developing countries such as {M}orocco, where flooding has serious socio-economic impacts, satellite-based precipitation products open new possibilities for monitoring and modelling water resources and floods. {T}he objective of the study is to explore the possibility of using satellite precipitation products ({SPP}s) with hydrological models ({CREST} and {MISD}c) over 9 basins in {M}orocco. {T}his work provides a hydrological assessment of three {SPP}s that have demonstrated good capabilities in reproducing precipitation over different basins in {M}orocco ({GPM} {IMERG} - {PERSIANN} {CDR} ({PERCDR}) and {CHIRPS}). {T}he two hydrological models are coupled with a stochastic calibration method to provide the different ranges of uncertainties. {I}n addition, we investigate the ability of {SPP}s on reproducing the {N}ovember 2014 flood event that affected a large part of {M}orocco. {T}he results indicated that, in calibration, both hydrological models provided similar performance to reproduce river discharge with observed precipitation or {PERSIANN} {CDR}. {I}n validation, the combination of the {MISD}c model with {PERSIANN} {CDR} performed the best, notably allowing a good simulation of the flood hydrographs during the {N}ovember 2014 event. {F}uture analysis of relationships between {SPP}s, basin properties, and hydrological modelling technique will allow to find the appropriate combination for different application purposes.},
