Short summary
This study explores a new tiling scheme within the HydroBlocks Land Surface Model to represent local, regional and intermediate subsurface flow. Using high-resolution environmental data, the scheme defines parameterized flow units, enabling water and energy flux simulations. Compared against a benchmark simulation, the multiscale scheme demonstrates strong agreement in spatial mean, standard deviation, and temporal variability, showcasing its potential for large-scale hydrological simulation.
