Examples Overview

We distribute four examples. Three show how to run BasinMaker and each of these are distributed with both a Jupyter Notebook (*.ipynb) and a corresponding Python script (*.py) file calling BasinMaker functions the same way.

• Example 1 focuses on how to isolate your watershed of interest from a routing product region/subregion download and then how to customize (i.e., simplify) the routing network.
• Example 2 focuses on generating HRUs and producing the corresponding Raven setup files.
• Example 3 is showcasing how BasinMaker is used in scratch delineation mode (e.g., using a DEM instead of a downloaded routing product).

Another example (Example 2a: Raven) demonstrates how the BasinMaker outputs can be used directly by the Raven hydrological model framework. To run BasinMaker Light (post-processing mode) for an example basin using Google Colab without requiring any local install, go to #2 here.
