TLDR
In this paper, a combination of Markov chain and gamma distribution function is recognized as a simple approach and is demonstrated to be effective in generating daily rainfall data for many environments, however, this method requires that many years of daily weather records be available for estimating the model parameters.About:

A global hydrological model for deriving water availability indicators: model tuning and validation
TL;DR: The WaterGAP Global Hydrology Model (WGHM) as discussed by the authors is a submodel of the global water use and availability model, which computes surface runoff, groundwater recharge and river discharge at a spatial resolution of 0.58.

The weather generation game: a review of stochastic weather models
Daniel S. Wilks,Robert L. Wilby +1 more
TL;DR: The historical development of statistical weather models, from simple analyses of runs of consecutive rainy and dry days at single sites, through to multisite models of daily precipitation, can be found in this article.

Terrestrial vegetation and water balance-hydrological evaluation of a dynamic global vegetation model
TL;DR: In this paper, the hydrological performance of the Lund-Potsdam-Jena model (LPJ), a prominent dynamic global vegetation model, is evaluated, and it is shown that runoff and evapotranspiration computed by LPJ agree well with respective results from state-of-the-art global hydrologogical models, while in some regions, runoff is significantly over- or underestimated compared to observations.

Some remarks on the use of daily rainfall models
TL;DR: In this article, the authors described features of daily rainfall processes using data from different sites of the world and modelled the process of rainfall occurrence by an alternating renewal process or by a Markov chain.
