Welcome to the documentation of Hydrograph-py

Hydrograph-py is a hydrological Python package that provides some tools for:

1. Separation of flow time-series into peak flow and baseflow.

2. Filtering of peak flow events given a minimum event duration.

3. Calculation of peak event volumes.

4. Calculation of maximum annual peak flow and maximum annual peak event volume.

5. Extreme value analysis using GEV fitting and plotting functions.

Streamflow separation in this package is based on the principle introduced by [1]. They separated the hydrograph into “quickflow” and “delayed flow” components by arbitrarily projecting a line of constant slope from the beginning of any stream rise until it intersected the falling side of the hydrograph.
