# River Delineation Tools



A curate list of GIS tools and resources for river and watershed delineation using Python.



**Libraries**:

- [PDAL](https://pdal.io/index.html): A C++ BSD library for python for translating and manipulating point cloud data

- [PyLidar](http://pylidar.org/en/latest/#): A set of Python modules which makes it easy to write lidar processing code in Python

- [libLAS](https://liblas.org/tutorial/python.html): A C/C++ library for python for reading and writing the very common LAS LiDAR format

- [laspy](https://github.com/laspy/laspy): A pythonic interface for reading/modifying/creating .LAS LIDAR files

- [GDAL](https://www.gdal.org/): A translator library for raster and vector geospatial data formats

- [GeoPandas](http://geopandas.org/index.html): Extends the datatypes used by pandas to allow spatial operations on geometric types

- [Rtree](http://toblerity.org/rtree/): Spatial indexing for Python

- [Shapely](https://github.com/Toblerity/Shapely): Manipulation and analysis of geometric objects 

- [Descartes](https://bitbucket.org/sgillies/descartes): Use Shapely or GeoJSON-like geometric objects as matplotlib paths and patches

- [Fiona](https://github.com/Toblerity/Fiona): OGR’s neat, nimble, no-nonsense API for Python programmers



**Packages**:

- [KeckCaves](http://keckcaves.org/software/start): A set of application and libraries for geo data visualization

- [Whitebox GAT](https://www.uoguelph.ca/~hydrogeo/Whitebox/index.html): An open-source desktop GIS and remote sensing software package for general applications of geospatial analysis and data visualization

- [WhiteboxTools](https://www.uoguelph.ca/~hydrogeo/WhiteboxTools/index.html): Performs common GIS analysis operations, such as cost-distance analysis, distance buffering, and raster reclassification

- [WetChannelExtraction](https://github.com/MiladHooshyar/WetChannelExtraction): Extract wet segments using high resolution DEMs and Intensity Rasters.
