R & Python

Raoul Collenteur from the University of Graz provides a list of open source Python projects for hydrogeological applications. This list includes tools and applications for the following topics:

• Hydrological models
• Meteorological tools
• Unsaturated zone
• Groundwater
• Time series (analysis)
• GIS related
• Optimization, uncertainty, statistics
• Data collection
• Miscellaneous

A interesting overview of R packages in hydro(geo)logy can be found at CRAN Hydrological Data and Modeling.

Also, the application and existing useful R tools in hydrology are outlined in several review articles:

• Using R in hydrology: a review of recent developments and future directions.
• Technical note: Hydrology modelling R packages - a unified analysis of models and practicalities from a user perspective

These articles provide an overview of a typical hydrologic workflow based on reproducible principles and packages for hydrometeorological data retrieval, spatial analysis, hydrologic modeling, statistics, and the design of static and dynamic visualizations and documents.
