Description:

Python package to assist with stream network summarization. This package is intended to support efforts for any stream network having general topology (that is, to and from nodes). Specifically this package was built to support fisheries based analyses using multiple versions of the National Hydrography Database Plus (NHDPlus) representing streams within the United States along with HydroBasins which represent global drainage areas.

This Python package and associated command line tool, ’network_calculator’, is intended to assist with up and down stream network summarization of variables assigned to a stream segment. Methods are built in a generalized way and are intended to support efforts for any stream network having general topology (to and from nodes).
