Curated Python Hydrology Packages for Water Scientists
A comprehensive collection of open-source Python libraries tailored for hydrological analysis, modeling, and water resource management.
- Built with Python
- Organized catalog of Python packages specific to hydrological applications
About This Project
This curated repository serves as a central hub for hydrologists and water resource engineers seeking powerful Python tools for their research and analysis workflows. Rather than building yet another library, this project solves the discovery problem by cataloging and organizing the best open-source packages available for hydrological applications.
The collection spans the full spectrum of hydrology work, from data acquisition and preprocessing to advanced modeling and visualization. Whether you're analyzing streamflow data, building rainfall-runoff models, or working with groundwater simulations, this resource helps you quickly identify the right tools without spending hours searching through PyPI or GitHub.
Each listed package is relevant to real-world hydrological challenges, covering areas like time series analysis, spatial data processing, statistical hydrology, and climate data handling. The repository is actively maintained and welcomes community contributions, ensuring it stays current with the evolving Python hydrology ecosystem.
For developers new to computational hydrology or experienced practitioners exploring new tools, this collection provides invaluable time savings by aggregating domain-specific packages that might otherwise remain hidden in the vast Python ecosystem.
