Comprehensive Analysis of Hydrological Processes in a Programmable Environment: The Watershed Modeling Framework

Distributed hydrological modeling has increased its popularity in the community, leading to development of multiple models with different approaches. However, rapid growth also opened a gap between models, interfaces, and advanced users. User interfaces help set up pre-process steps. Nevertheless, they limit implementation more complex experiments. This work presents Watershed Modeling Framework (WMF) as step forward closing interface–usage gap. WMF is Fortran-Python module designed provide tools perform analysis that conceptualizes watershed an object defined topology, properties, functions. built-in model, geomorphological functions, QGIS plugin. interacts other popular Python modules, making it dynamic expandible. In this work, we describe structure capabilities. We some examples discuss future development.
