Cascade - a Stream Ordering Library¶
Cascade is a Python library to assign stream orders to river networks. Classification of streams using orders give an indication of the size and strength of rivers, likelihood of flooding, and to help to determine what wildlife may be present.
Stream ordering can be used to:
sort upstream features based on stream by order, ensuring results along a main channel are given priority
symbolise rivers and to allow subsets of rivers to be shown at different zoom levels
give a rough indicator of river capacity
provide categories when reporting on water quality
Installation¶
pip install cascade-rivers
