eflowpy

A Python Package for Estimating Environmental Flow Requirements in Rivers

eflowpy is a Python package for estimating environmental flow requirements using hydrological methods. It provides methods such as Flow Duration Curve (FDC), 7Q10, GEFC, and Tennant Method to analyze river flow conditions for environmental assessments.

Features

✔ Calculate Flow Duration Curve (FDC) with exceedance probabilities
✔ Compute 7Q10 low-flow values for drought analysis
✔ Apply the Tennant Method for environmental flow assessments
✔ Use GEFC (Generalized Environmental Flow Criteria) for water resource planning
✔ Easily visualize FDC plots with Q-value markers (Q1, Q5, Q10, Q50, Q90, Q95)
✔ Support for both daily and monthly streamflow data ✔ Handling missing data

How to Use

** Load Streamflow Data**

from eflowpy.utils.data_reader import read_streamflow_data

df = read_streamflow_data("gauge_12013059_daily.csv")
print(df.head())

** Calculate Flow Duration Curve (FDC)**

from eflowpy.hydrological.fdc import FlowDurationCurve

flow_series = df.iloc[:, 0]  # Extract flow column
fdc_method = FlowDurationCurve(flow_series)
fdc = fdc_method.calculate_fdc()

print(fdc.head())  # Show first few rows

** Get Specific Q-Values from FDC**

q10 = fdc_method.get_flow_at_percentile(10)  # Q10 flow
q50 = fdc_method.get_flow_at_percentile(50)  # Median flow
q90 = fdc_method.get_flow_at_percentile(90)  # Low flow

print(f"Q10: {q10} m³/s, Q50: {q50} m³/s, Q90: {q90} m³/s")

** Plot FDC with Optional Q-Values**

from eflowpy.utils.plotting import plot_fdc

plot_fdc(fdc, q_values=[1, 5, 10, 50, 90, 95])
