Welcome to the pywatershed repository!
Pywatershed is Python package for simulating hydrologic processes motivated by the need to modernize important, legacy hydrologic models at the USGS, particularly the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS, Markstrom et al., 2015) and its role in GSFLOW (Markstrom et al., 2008). The goal of modernization is to make these legacy models more flexible as process representations, to support testing of alternative hydrologic process conceptualizations, and to facilitate the incorporation of cutting edge modeling techniques and data sources. Pywatershed is a place for experimentation with software design, process representation, and data fusion in the context of well-established hydrologic process modeling.
For more information on the goals and status of pywatershed, please see the pywatershed docs.
Installation
pywatershed
uses Python 3.9 or 3.10.
The pywatershed
package is available on
PyPI but installation of all
dependencies sets (lint, test, optional, doc, and all) may not be reliable on
all platforms.
The pywatershed
package is available on
conda-forge. The installation
is the quickest way to get up and running by provides only the minimal set of
dependencies (not including Jupyter nor all packages needed for running the
example notebooks, also not suitable for development purposes).
We recommend the following installation procedures to get fully-functional
environments for running pywatershed
and its example notebooks. We strongly
recommend using Mambato first
instal dependencies from the environment_y_jupyter.yml
file in the
repository before installing pywatershed
itself. Mamba will be much faster
than Ananconda (but the conda command could also be used).
If you wish to use the stable release, you will use main
in place of
<branch>
in the following commands. If you want to follow development, you'll
use develop
instead.
Without using git
(directly), you may:
curl -L -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EC-USGS/pywatershed/<branch>/environment_w_jupyter.yml
mamba env create -f environment_w_jupyter.yml
conda activate pws
pip install git+https://github.com/EC-USGS/pywatershed.git@<branch>
Or to use git
and to be able to develop:
git clone https://github.com/EC-USGS/pywatershed.git
cd pywatershed
mamba env create -f environment_w_jupyter.yml
activate pws
pip install -e .
(If you want to name the environment other than the default pws
, use the
command
mamba env update --name your_env_name --file environment_w_jupyter.yml --prune
you will also need to activate this environment by name.)
We install the environment_w_jupyter.yml
to provide all known dependencies
including those for running the example notebooks. (The environment.yml
does not contain Jupyter or JupyterLab because this interferes with installation
on WholeTale, see Getting Started section below.)
Getting started / Example notebooks
Please note that you can browse the API reference, developer info, and index in the pywatershed docs. But the best way to get started with pywatershed is to dive into the example notebooks.
For introductory example notebooks, look in the
examples/
directory in the repository. Numbered starting at 00, these are meant to be
completed in order. Numbered starting at 00, these are meant to be completed
in order. Notebook outputs are not saved in Github. But you can run these
notebooks locally or using WholeTale (an NSF funded project supporting logins
from many institutions, free but sign-up or log-in required)
where the pywatershed environment is all ready to go:
WholeTale will give you a JupyterLab running in the root of this
repository. You can navigate to examples/
and then open and run the notebooks
of your choice. The develop container may require the user to update the
repository (git pull origin
) to stay current with development.
Non-numbered notebooks in examples/
cover additional topics. These
notebooks are not yet covered by testing and you may encounter some
issues. In examples/developer/
there are notebooks of interest to
developers who may want to learn about running the software tests.
Community engagement
We value your feedback! Please use discussions or issues on Github. For more in-depth contributions, please start by reading over the pywatershed DEVELOPER.md and CONTRIBUTING.md guidelines.
Thank you for your interest.
