DOI

HexWatershed: a mesh independent flow direction model for hydrological models.

This Python package provides a Python interface to the underlying HexWatershed model.

HexWatershed has been compiled and tested on various 64-bit Linux and Mac based platforms.

Installation

Ensure you have a c++ compiler and the cmake utility installed.

Build the HexWatershed C++ backend and place the binary under the bin path.

Install the python package using conda: conda install -c conda-forge hexwatershed

For detailed installation instruction, please refer to the documentation.

Usage

Please use this tutorial to run the examples.
