pyflo 0.3.2

PyFlo is an open-source library written in Python for performing hydraulic and hydrology stormwater analysis.

# Project Overview

PyFlo is an open-source library written in Python for performing hydraulic and hydrology stormwater
analysis. Capabilities include network hydraulic grade analysis and time/iteration based storage and
flood routing simulations. SCS Unit Hydrograph and Rational Method are included for basin
computations. Most of the calculations and procedures are derived from available existing
publications and resources. There are some GUI programs available that have similar capabilities.
The intent is that many will build from and contribute to the project, making it much more powerful
than a single person ever could.

# Installation

Installing the easy way, using pip:

```bash
$ pip install pyflo
```

# Examples

## Hydrographs

From [NEH Hydrology Ch. 16, Ex. 16-1](http://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/ftpref/wntsc/H&H/NEHhydrology/ch16.pdf#page=15):

```python
from pyflo import system
from pyflo.nrcs import hydrology

uh484 = system.array_from_csv('./resources/distributions/runoff/scs484.csv')
basin = hydrology.Basin(
area=4.6,
cn=85.0,
tc=2.3,
runoff_dist=uh484,
peak_factor=484.0
)
```
### Unit Hydrograph

With PyFlo, it's fairly simple to create a unit hydrograph, which represents the time-flow
relationship per unit (inch) of runoff depth.

```python
unit_hydrograph = basin.unit_hydrograph(interval=0.3)
```

We can use `matplotlib` to plot the example results:

```python
from matplotlib import pyplot

x = unit_hydrograph[:, 0]
y = unit_hydrograph[:, 1]
pyplot.plot(x, y, 'k')
pyplot.plot(x, y, 'bo')
pyplot.title(r'Unit Hydrograph from Example 16-1')
pyplot.xlabel(r'Time ($hr$)')
pyplot.ylabel(r'Discharge ($\frac{ft^{3}}{s}$)')
pyplot.show()
```


### Flood Hydrograph

A flood hydrograph can be generated, which is a time-flow relationship synthesized from basin
properties and a provided scaled rainfall distribution.

```python
import numpy

rainfall_dist = numpy.array([
(0.00, 0.000),
(0.05, 0.074),
(0.10, 0.174),
(0.15, 0.280),
(0.20, 0.378),
(0.25, 0.448),
(0.30, 0.496),
(0.35, 0.526),
(0.40, 0.540),
(0.45, 0.540),
(0.50, 0.540),
(0.55, 0.542),
(0.60, 0.554),
(0.65, 0.582),
(0.70, 0.640),
(0.75, 0.724),
(0.80, 0.816),
(0.85, 0.886),
(0.90, 0.940),
(0.95, 0.980),
(1.00, 1.000)
])
rainfall_depths = rainfall_dist * [6.0, 5.0] # Scale array to 5 inches over 6 hours.
flood_hydrograph = basin.flood_hydrograph(rainfall_depths, interval=0.3)
```

We can use `matplotlib` to plot the example results:

```python
from matplotlib import pyplot

x = flood_hydrograph[:, 0]
y = flood_hydrograph[:, 1]
pyplot.plot(x, y, 'k')
pyplot.plot(x, y, 'bo')
pyplot.title(r'Flood Hydrograph from Example 16-1')
pyplot.xlabel(r'Time ($hr$)')
pyplot.ylabel(r'Discharge ($\frac{ft^{3}}{s}$)')
pyplot.show()
```


# Contributing

For developers, it's important to use common best practices when contributing to the project.
[PEP 8](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) should always be adhered. Code should be
documented with [Google style docstrings](http://sphinxcontrib-napoleon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/example_google.html).
Pull requests and filing issues are encouraged.

To start contributing with the PyFlo repository:

1. Fork it!

2. Create a local clone of your fork.

$ git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/pyflo

6. Checkout your local `master` branch and sync `upstream/master` to it, without losing local changes.

$ git checkout master
Switched to branch 'master'

$ git merge upstream/master

7. Commit your local changes and push to `upstream/master`.

$ git commit -m 'Add some feature'
$ git push upstream master

8. Submit a pull request. =)
