Release Notes

This release provides access to three new datasets:

USACE Hydrographic Surveys (eHydro) and
USGS Short-Term Network (STN) Flood Event Data (contributed by Fernando Aristizabal)
NLCD 2021

New Features

Add support for getting topobathymetry data from USACE Hydrographic Surveys (eHydro). The new class is called EHydro and gives users the ability to subset the eHydro dataset by geometry, ID, or SQL queries.
Add new stnfloodevents module with STNFloodEventData class for retrieving flood event data from the USGS Short-Term Network (STN) RESTful Service. This Python API abstracts away RESTful principles and produces analysis ready data in geo-referenced GeoDataFrames, DataFrames, lists, or dictionaries as desired. The core class methods available are data_dictionary, get_all_data, and get_filtered_data. These class methods retrieve the data dictionaries by type, get all the available data by type, and make filtered requests for data by type as well, respectively. The four types of data include instruments, peaks, hwms, and sites. Contributed by Fernando Aristizabal.
Add a wrapper function for the STNFloodEventData class called stn_flood_event.
Add support for the new NLCD data (2021) for the three supported layers.
