`hddtools` stands for Hydrological Data Discovery Tools. This R package

is an open source project designed to facilitate access to a variety of

online open data sources relevant for hydrologists and, in general,

environmental scientists and practitioners.

This typically implies the download of a metadata catalogue, selection

of information needed, a formal request for dataset(s), de-compression,

conversion, manual filtering and parsing. All those operations are made

more efficient by re-usable functions.

Depending on the data license, functions can provide offline and/or

online modes. When redistribution is allowed, for instance, a copy of

the dataset is cached within the package and updated twice a year. This

is the fastest option and also allows offline use of package’s

functions. When re-distribution is not allowed, only online mode is

provided.

## Installation

Get the stable version from CRAN:

``` r

install.packages("hddtools")

```

Or the development version from GitHub using the package `remotes`:

``` r

install.packages("remotes")

remotes::install_github("ropensci/hddtools")

```

Load the `hddtools` package:

``` r

library("hddtools")

```

## Data sources and Functions

The package contains functions to interact with the data providers

listed below. For examples of the various functionalities see the

[vignette](https://github.com/ropensci/hddtools/blob/master/vignettes/hddtools_vignette.Rmd).

  - [KGClimateClass](http://koeppen-geiger.vu-wien.ac.at/): The Koppen

    Climate Classification map is used for classifying the world’s

    climates based on the annual and monthly averages of temperature and

    precipitation.

  - [GRDC](http://www.bafg.de/GRDC/): The Global Runoff Data Centre

    (GRDC) provides datasets for all the major rivers in the world.

  - [Data60UK](http://tdwg.catchment.org/datasets.html): The Data60UK

    initiative collated datasets of areal precipitation and streamflow

    discharge across 61 gauging sites in England and Wales (UK).

  - [MOPEX](http://tdwg.catchment.org/datasets.html): This dataset

    contains historical hydrometeorological data and river basin

    characteristics for hundreds of river basins in the US.

  - [SEPA](https://www2.sepa.org.uk/WaterLevels/): The Scottish

    Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) provides river level data for

    hundreds of gauging stations in the UK.
