• Why Watershed Analysts Should Use R for Data Processing and Analysis

  Vol. 1 No. 1 (2017)

  R.D. (Dan) Moore, David Hutchinson

  Both the science and practice associated with watershed management involve the processing, presentation and analysis of quantitative information. In this article, the use of open source programming languages by watershed analysts is advocated. The R language, in particular, provides a rich set of tools for the types of data that are commonly encountered in watershed analysis. Theutility of R is illustrated through three examples: intensity-duration-frequency analysis of rainfall data, baseflow separation, and watershed delineation and mapping.
