precompute

The R package precompute is used to perform periodic computations to set up data for loading and rendering in Shiny applications. These computations typically take too long to conduct on the fly, which is why they are performed with some frequency using this package.

fluvial-particle, U.S. Geological Survey software release

This Python package provides functions to simulate advection and dispersion of numerical particles using a lagrangian particle-tracking algorithm for 2 and 3-dimensionl hydraulic simulation results. Users may customize particle subclasses to provide custom particle classes. For example, the drift of larval fish, by creating classes to add behavior to particles. (McDonald and Nelson, 2021).

GSFLOW: Coupled Groundwater and Surface-Water Flow Model

Groundwater and Surface-water FLOW (GSFLOW) was developed to simulate coupled groundwater and surface-water resources. The model is based on the integration of the U.S. Geological Survey Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) and the U.S. Geological Survey Modular Groundwater Flow Model (MODFLOW).

dataRetrieval

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) developed an R package called dataRetrieval to help simplify the process of discovering and retrieving water quality sample data, streamflow, groundwater, and other data available from Federal hydrologic web services such as National Water Information Systems (NWIS), the EPA Water Quality Exchange (WQX) System, and the National Hydrologic Dataset via the Hydro-Ne

HASP

The Hydrologic Analysis Package (HASP) can retrieve groundwater level and groundwater quality data, aggregate these data, plot them, and generate basic statistics. One of the benefits of HASP is its ability to aggregate two time-series of data into one record and generate statistics and graphics on hat record. By merging two data sets together, users can view and manipulate a much longer record o

GW/SW-MST: A Groundwater/Surface-Water Method Selection Tool

The Groundwater/Surface-Water Method Selection Tool (GW/SW-MST) is a spreadsheet-based tool to help practitioners identify methods for use in groundwater/surface-water (GW/SW) exchange and hyporheic studies. GW/SW exchange and hyporheic processes are topics receiving increasing attention from the hydrologic community. Hydraulic, chemical, temperature, geophysical, and remote sensing methods are u
