Dear all, does anybody know of an implementation of a spatially distributed hydrological model implemented in R. I know there is a number of lumped models in HydroMad and RHydro (none of them on CRAN).
Hi Dominik, The SWAT model (USDA) is available on CRAN: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/SWATmodel but I've never tried it. It is a spatially distributed model, where you can use different properties for each Hydrological Response Unit (HRU). However, it is not a fully-distributed model but a semi-distributed one. What spatial scale are you interested in ?
Kind regards, Mauricio Zambrano-Bigiarini, Ph.D
Dear Felix, dear Mauricio thanks for the informations - great to get response related to hydrology on this list :-) topmodel is one of the lumped models - not distributed. The SWAT package provides a basic interface to the files of the stand-alone SWAT programme. To run the model, it calls the R-external SWAT-executable. What I am looking for is a distributed (or semi-distributed) model that will take data from within R without going through external files. So I will keep looking... Kind regards Dominik
