hyswap

There is a need for water professionals to provide water information in maps and graphics that contextualize data for real-time decision-making. hyswap (HYdrologic Surface Water Analysis Package), is a Python package that provides a set of functions for manipulating and visualizing USGS water data. Specifically, a number of functions for calculating statistics (e.g., exceedance probabilities, daily historic percentiles) and generating related plots (e.g., flow duration curves, streamflow duration hydrographs) are available. These methods are provided in a modular fashion as individual functions and are designed to give the user flexibility to customize. This package is designed to meet the needs of various users including resource managers and local and state agencies.
