Documentation

rios_preprocessor is meant as a replacement for the ArcGIS python code that currently produces the inputs for the main RIOS program.

rios_preprocessor produces rasters of:

  • Downslope retention index

  • Upslope source

  • Riparian index

  • Slope index

that are used as input for the following RIOS objectives:

  • Erosion Control

  • Nitrogen Retention

  • Phosphorus

  • Flood Mitigation

  • Groundwater Recharge/Baseflow

Along the way, there are some additional tricks rios_preprocessor uses that may be useful in other contexts:

  • rasterizes an input shapefile river network and matches it to a (raster) DEM/DTM

  • identifies discontinuous river banks along a rasterized river

  • identifies the end points of rasterized rivers

Dependencies

  • numpy

  • pandas

  • geopandas

  • fiona

  • rasterio > 1.0

  • shapely

  • pygeoprocessing ~= 0.3.3

Installation

pip install rios_preprocessor
