Hydro-Module

The Hydro-Module provides an estimation of yearly mean flow and yearly mean low fow for each subcatchment or river section within a specified catchment area. This estimation is made by Random Forest (source), which uses the catchment’s geographical characteristics as predictors and water flow data collected from gauging stations to calibrate and validate the approach.

This group of tools is divided in 4 different processes:

• Fix River Network
• Contributing Area of Gauging Station
• Calculate Geofactors
• Flow Estimation

Each tool is documented in the following sections with explanations of its functionality and step-by-step tutorials.
