pysheds

pysheds is a powerful Python library enabling simple and fast watershed delineation and digital elevation model (DEM) processing. It provides robust functionalities for conditioning elevation data, including methods to fill pits and depressions, and for accurately extracting hydrological features such as stream networks and basin boundaries.

This library is well-documented and supported by various media, including tutorials from Hatari Labs and articles from organizations like Earth Science Information Partners. It serves as a valuable tool for researchers and practitioners in hydrology, geomorphology, and environmental science, offering practical examples for reading and processing DEM data.

Users can access example data like elevation, terrain, and soil polygons for immediate application. The library integrates seamlessly with other Python data science tools for plotting and analysis, making it a comprehensive solution for advanced terrain and water flow analysis.
