v0.16.3

Release Notes

New Features

• Add support for LakeCat dataset in streamcat function. A new argument called lakes_only is added to the function. If set to True, only metrics for lake and their associated catchments will be returned. The default is False to retain backward compatibility.

Bug Fixes

• Modify HP3D class based on the latest changes to the 3D Hydrography Program service. Hydrolocation layer has now three sub-layers:
  • hydrolocation_waterbody for Sink, Spring, Waterbody Outlet,
  • hydrolocation_flowline for Headwater, Terminus, Divergence, Confluence, Catchment Outlet,
  • hydrolocation_reach for Reach Code, External Connection.

Breaking Changes

• EPA's HMS no longer supports the StreamCat dataset, since they have a dedicated service for it. Thus, the epa_nhd_catchments function no longer accepts "streamcat" as an input for the feature argument. For all StreamCat queries, use the streamcat function instead. Now, the epa_nhd_catchments function is essentially useful for getting Curve Number data.
