v0.14.0

Release Notes

New Features

• Add a new function, called nlcd_area_percent, for computing the percentages or natural, developed, and impervious areas within geometries of a given GeoDataFrame. This function uses imperviousness and land use/land cover data from NLCD to compute the area percentages of the natural, developed, and impervious areas. For more information please refer to the function's documentation.
• Add a new column to the dataframe returned by NWIS.get_info, called nhd_comid, and rename drain_sqkm to nhd_areasqkm. The new drainage area is the best available estimates of stations' drainage area that have been extracted from the NHDPlus. The new nhd_comid column makes it easier to link stations to NHDPlus.
• In get_camels, return qobs with negatives values set to NaN. Also, Add a new variable called Newman_2017 to both datasets for identifying the 531 stations that were used in Newman et al. (2017).
• Add a new function, called streamflow_fillna, for filling missing streamflow values (NAN) with day-of-year average values.

Breaking Changes

• Bump the minimum required version of shapely to 2.0, and use its new API.

Internal Changes

• Sync all minor versions of HyRiver packages to 0.14.0.
• Improve performance of all NLCD functions by merging two methods of the NLCD and also reducing the memory footprint of the functions.
