History

0.15.2 (2023-0X-XX)

New Features

• Add a new attribute to EHydro class called survey_grid. It's a geopandas.GeoDataFrame that includes the survey grid of the eHydro dataset which is a 35-km hexagonal grid.

Internal Changes

• Remove dependency on dask.
• Move all NLCD related functions to a separate module called nlcd. This doesn't affect the API since the functions are still available under pygeohydro namespace.

0.15.1 (2023-08-02)

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.

0.15.0 (2023-05-07)

From release 0.15 onward, all minor versions of HyRiver packages will be pinned. This ensures that previous minor versions of HyRiver packages cannot be installed with later minor releases. For example, if you have py3dep==0.14.x installed, you cannot install pydaymet==0.15.x. This is to ensure that the API is consistent across all minor versions.

New Features

• Add a new option to NWIS.get_info, called nhd_info, for retrieving NHDPlus related info on the sites. This will two new service calls that might slow down the function, so it's disabled by default.
• Update links in NID to the latest CSV and GPKG versions of the NID dataset.
• Add two new properties to NID to access the entire NID dataset. You can use NID.df to access the CSV version as a pandas.DataFrame and NID.gdf to access the GPKG version as a geopandas.GeoDataFrame. Installing pyogrio is highly recommended for much faster reading of the GPKG version.
• Refactor NID.bygeom to use the new NID.gdf property for spatial querying of the dataset. This change should make the query much faster.
• For now, retain compatibility with shapely<2 while supporting shapley>=2.

0.14.0 (2023-03-05)

New Features

• Add a new function, called nlcd_area_percent, for computing the percentages or natural, developed, and impervious areas within geometries of a given GeoDataFrame. This function uses imperviousness and land use/land cover data from NLCD to compute the area percentages of the natural, developed, and impervious areas. For more information please refer to the function's documentation.
• Add a new column to the dataframe returned by NWIS.get_info, called nhd_comid, and rename drain_sqkm to nhd_areasqkm. The new drainage area is the best available estimates of stations' drainage area that have been extracted from the NHDPlus. The new nhd_comid column makes it easier to link stations to NHDPlus.
• In get_camels, return qobs with negatives values set to NaN. Also, Add a new variable called Newman_2017 to both datasets for identifying the 531 stations that were used in Newman et al. (2017).
• Add a new function, called streamflow_fillna, for filling missing streamflow values (NAN) with day-of-year average values.

Breaking Changes

• Bump the minimum required version of shapely to 2.0, and use its new API.

Internal Changes

• Sync all minor versions of HyRiver packages to 0.14.0.
• Improve performance of all NLCD functions by merging two methods of the NLCD and also reducing the memory footprint of the functions.

0.13.12 (2023-02-10)

New Features

• Add initial support for SensorThings API Currently, the SensorThings class only supports Things endpoint. Users need to provide a valid Odata filter. The class has a odata_helper function that can be used to generate and validate Odata filters. Additionally, using sensor_info and sensor_property functions users can request for information about sensors themselves or their properties.

Internal Changes

• Simplify geometry validation by using pygeoutils.geo2polygon function in ssebopeta_bygeom.
• Fully migrate setup.cfg and setup.py to pyproject.toml.
• Convert relative imports to absolute with absolufy-imports.
• Sync all patch versions of HyRiver packages to x.x.12.

0.13.10 (2023-01-09)

Breaking Changes

• The NID service has changed some of its endpoints to use Federal ID instead of Dam ID. This change affects the NID.inventory_byid function. This function now accepts Federal IDs instead of dam IDs.

New Features

• Refactor the show_versions function to improve performance and print the output in a nicer table-like format.

Internal Changes

• Use the new pygeoogc.streaming_download function in huc_wb_full to improve performance and reduce code complexity.
• Skip 0.13.9 version so the minor version of all HyRiver packages become the same.
• Modify the codebase based on the latest changes in geopandas related to empty dataframes.
• Use pyright for static type checking instead of mypy and address all typing issues that it raised.

0.13.8 (2022-12-09)

New Features

• Add a function called huc_wb_full that returns the full watershed boundary GeoDataFrame of a given HUC level. If only a subset of HUCs is needed the pygeohydro.WBD class should be used. The full dataset is downloaded from the National Maps' WBD staged products.
• Add a new function called irrigation_withdrawals for retrieving estimated monthly water use for irrigation by 12-digit hydrologic unit in the CONUS for 2015 from ScienceBase.
• Add a new property to NID, called data_units for indicating the units of NID dataset variables.
• The get_us_states now accepts conus as a subset_key which is equivalent to contiguous.

Internal Changes

• Add get_us_states to __init__ file, so it can be loaded directly, e.g., gh.get_us_states("TX").
• Modify the codebase based on Refurb suggestions.
• Significant performance improvements in NWIS.get_streamflow especially for large requests by refactoring the timezone handling.

Bug Fixes

• Fix the dam types and purposes mapping dictionaries in NID class.

0.13.7 (2022-11-04)

New Features

• Add a two new function for retrieving soil properties across the US:
  • soil_properties: Porosity, available water capacity, and field capacity,
  • soil_gnatsgo: Soil properties from the gNATSGO database.
• Add a new help function called state_lookup_table for getting a lookup table of US states and their counties. This can be particularly useful for mapping the digit state_cd and county_cd that NWIS returns to state names/codes.
• Add support for getting individual state geometries using get_us_states function by passing their two letter state code. Also, use TIGER 2022 data for the US states and counties instead of TIGER 2021.

Internal Changes

• Remove proplot as a dependency and use matplotlib instead.

0.13.6 (2022-08-30)

Internal Changes

• Add the missing PyPi classifiers for the supported Python versions.

0.13.5 (2022-08-29)

Breaking Changes

• Append "Error" to all exception classes for conforming to PEP-8 naming conventions.
• Deprecate ssebopeta_byloc since it's been replaced with ssebopeta_bycoords since version 0.13.0.

Internal Changes

• Bump the minimum versions of pygeoogc and pygeoutils to 0.13.5 and that of async-retriever to 0.3.5.

0.13.3 (2022-07-31)

New Features

• Add a new argument to NID.inventory_byid class for staging the entire NID dataset prior to inventory queries. There a new public method called NID.stage_nid_inventory that can be used to download the entire NID dataset and save it as a feather file. This is useful inventory queries with large number of IDs and is much more efficient than querying the NID web service.

Bug Fixes

• The background value in cover_statistics function should have been 127 not 0. Also, dropped the background value from the return statistics.

0.13.2 (2022-06-14)

Breaking Changes

• Set the minimum supported version of Python to 3.8 since many of the dependencies such as xarray, pandas, rioxarray have dropped support for Python 3.7.

Internal Changes

• Remove USGS prefixes from the input station IDs in NWIS.get_streamflow function. Also, check if the remaining parts of the IDs are all digits and throw an exception if otherwise. Additionally, make sure that IDs have at least 8 chars by adding leading zeros (:issue_hydro:`99`).
• Use micromamba for running tests and use nox for linting in CI.

0.13.1 (2022-06-11)

New Features

• Add a new function called get_us_states to the helpers module for obtaining a GeoDataFrame of the US states. It has an optional argument for returning the contiguous states, continental states, commonwealths states, or US territories. The data are retrieved from the Census' Tiger 2021 database.
• In the NID class keep the valid_fields property as a pandas.Series instead of a list, so it can be searched easier via its str accessor.

Internal Changes

• Refactor the plot.signatures function to use proplot instead of matplotlib.
• Improve performance of NWIS.get_streamflow by not validating the layer name when instantiating the WaterData class. Also, make the function more robust by checking if streamflow data is available for each station and throw a warning if not.

Bug Fixes

• Fix an issue in NWIS.get_streamflow where -9999 values were not being filtered out. According to NWIS, these values are reserved for ice-affected data. This fix sets these values to numpy.nan.

0.13.0 (2022-04-03)

New Features

• Add a new flag to nlcd_* functions called ssl for disabling SSL verification.
• Add a new function called get_camels for getting the CAMELS dataset. The function returns a geopandas.GeoDataFrame that includes basin-level attributes for all 671 stations in the dataset and a xarray.Dataset that contains streamflow data for all 671 stations and their basin-level attributes.
• Add a new function named overland_roughness for getting the overland roughness values from land cover data.
• Add a new class called WBD for getting watershed boundary (HUC) data.

from pygeohydro import WBD

wbd = WBD("huc4")
hudson = wbd.byids("huc4", ["0202", "0203"])

Breaking Changes

• Remove caching-related arguments from all functions since now they can be set globally via three environmental variables:

  • HYRIVER_CACHE_NAME: Path to the caching SQLite database.
  • HYRIVER_CACHE_EXPIRE: Expiration time for cached requests in seconds.
  • HYRIVER_CACHE_DISABLE: Disable reading/writing from/to the cache file.

  You can do this like so:

import os

os.environ["HYRIVER_CACHE_NAME"] = "path/to/file.sqlite"
os.environ["HYRIVER_CACHE_EXPIRE"] = "3600"
os.environ["HYRIVER_CACHE_DISABLE"] = "true"

Internal Changes

• Write nodata attribute using rioxarray in nlcd_bygeom since the clipping operation of rioxarray uses this value as the fill value.

0.12.4 (2022-02-04)

Internal Changes

• Return a named tuple instead of a dict of percentages in the cover_statistics function. It makes accessing the values easier.
• Add pycln as a new pre-commit hooks for removing unused imports.
• Remove time zone info from the inputs to plot.signatures to avoid issues with the matplotlib backend.

Bug Fixes

• Fix an issue in plot.signatures where the new matplotlib version requires a numpy array instead of a pandas.DataFrame.

0.12.3 (2022-01-15)

Bug Fixes

• Replace no data values of data in ssebopeta_bygeom with np.nan before converting it to mm/day.
• Fix an inconsistency issue with CRS projection when using UTM in nlcd_*. Use EPSG:3857 for all reprojections and get the data from NLCD in the same projection. (:issue_hydro:`85`)
• Improve performance of nlcd_* functions by reducing number of service calls.

Internal Changes

• Add type checking with typeguard and fix type hinting issues raised by typeguard.
• Refactor show_versions to ensure getting correct versions of all dependencies.

0.12.2 (2021-12-31)

New Features

• The NWIS.get_info now returns a geopandas.GeoDataFrame instead of a pandas.DataFrame.

Bug Fixes

• Fix a bug in NWIS.get_streamflow where the drainage area might not be computed correctly if target stations are not located at the outlet of their watersheds.

0.12.1 (2021-12-31)

Internal Changes

• Use the three new ar.retrieve_* functions instead of the old ar.retrieve function to improve type hinting and to make the API more consistent.

Bug Fixes

• Fix an in issue with NWIS.get_streamflow where time zone of the data was not being correctly determined when it was US specific abbreviations such as CST.

0.12.0 (2021-12-27)

New Features

• Add support for getting instantaneous streamflow from NWIS in addition to the daily streamflow by adding freq argument to NWIS.get_streamflow that can be either iv or dv. The default is dv to retain the previous behavior of the function.
• Convert the time zone of the streamflow data to UTC.
• Add attributes of the requested stations as attrs parameter to the returned pandas.DataFrame. (:issue_hydro:`75`)
• Add a new flag to NWIS.get_streamflow for returning the streamflow as xarray.Dataset. This dataset has two dimensions; time and station_id. It has ten variables which includes discharge and nine other station attributes. (:issue_hydro:`75`)
• Add drain_sqkm from GagesII to NWIS.get_info.
• Show drain_sqkm in the interactive map generated by interactive_map.
• Add two new functions for getting NLCD data; nlcd_bygeom and nlcd_bycoords. The new nlcd_bycoords function returns a geopandas.GeoDataFrame with the NLCD layers as columns and input coordinates, which should be a list of (lon, lat) tuples, as the geometry column. Moreover, The new nlcd_bygeom function now accepts a geopandas.GeoDataFrame as the input. In this case, it returns a dict with keys as indices of the input geopandas.GeoDataFrame. (:issue_hydro:`80`)
• The previous nlcd function is being deprecated. For now, it calls nlcd_bygeom internally and retains the old behavior. This function will be removed in future versions.

Breaking Changes

• The ssebop_byloc is being deprecated and replaced by ssebop_bycoords. The new function accepts a pandas.DataFrame as input that should include three columns: id, x, and y. It returns a xarray.Dataset with two dimensions: time and location_id. The id columns from the input is used as the location_id dimension. The ssebop_byloc function still retains the old behavior and will be removed in future versions.
• Set the request caching's expiration time to never expire. Add two flags to all functions to control the caching: expire_after and disable_caching.
• Replace NID class with the new RESTful-based web service of National Inventory of Dams. The new NID service is very different from the old one, so this is considered a breaking change.

Internal Changes

• Improve exception handling in NWIS.get_info when NWIS returns an error message rather than 500s web service error.
• The NWIS.get_streamflow function now checks if the site info dataset contains any duplicates. Therefore, all the remaining station numbers will be unique. This prevents an issue with setting attrs where duplicate indexes cause an exception when being converted to a dict. (:issue_hydro:`75`)
• Add all the missing types so mypy --strict passes.

0.11.4 (2021-11-24)

New Features

• Add support for the Water Quality Portal Web Services. (:issue_hydro:`72`)
• Add support for two versions of NID web service. The original NID web service is considered version 2 and the new NID is considered version 3. You can pass the version number to the NID like so NID(2). The default version is 2.

Bug Fixes

• Fix an issue with background percentage calculation in cover_statistics.

0.11.3 (2021-11-12)

New Features

• Add a new map service for National Inventory of Dams (NID).

Internal Changes

• Use importlib-metadata for getting the version instead of pkg_resources to decrease import time as discussed in this issue.

0.11.2 (2021-07-31)

Bug Fixes

• Refactor cover_statistics to address an issue with wrong category names and also improve performance for large datasets by using numpy's functions.
• Fix an issue with detecting wrong number of stations in NWIS.get_streamflow. Also, improve filtering stations that their start/end date don't match the user requested interval.

0.11.1 (2021-07-31)

The highlight of this release is adding support for NLCD 2019 and significant improvements in NWIS support.

New Features

• Add support for the recently released version of NLCD (2019), including the impervious descriptor layer. Highlights of the new database are:

  NLCD 2019 now offers land cover for years 2001, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2011, 2013, 2016, 2019, and impervious surface and impervious descriptor products now updated to match each date of land cover. These products update all previously released versions of land cover and impervious products for CONUS (NLCD 2001, NLCD 2006, NLCD 2011, NLCD 2016) and are not directly comparable to previous products. NLCD 2019 land cover and impervious surface product versions of previous dates must be downloaded for proper comparison. NLCD 2019 also offers an impervious surface descriptor product that identifies the type of each impervious surface pixel. This product identifies types of roads, wind tower sites, building locations, and energy production sites to allow deeper analysis of developed features.

  —MRLC

• Add support for all the supported regions of NLCD database (CONUS, AK, HI, and PR).

• Add support for passing multiple years to the NLCD function, like so {"cover": [2016, 2019]}.

• Add plot.descriptor_legends function to plot the legend for the impervious descriptor layer.

  • Remove query_* methods since it's not convenient to pass them directly as a dictionary.
  • Add a new function called get_parameter_codes to query parameters and get information about them.
  • To decrease complexity of get_streamflow method add a new private function to handle some tasks.
  • For handling more of NWIS's services make retrieve_rdb more general.

• Add a new argument called nwis_kwds to interactive_map so any NWIS specific keywords can be passed for filtering stations.

• Improve exception handling in get_info method and simplify and improve its performance for getting HCDN.

Internal Changes

• Migrate to using AsyncRetriever for handling communications with web services.

0.11.0 (2021-06-19)

Breaking Changes

• Drop support for Python 3.6 since many of the dependencies such as xarray and pandas have done so.
• Remove get_nid and get_nid_codes functions since NID now has a ArcGISRESTFul service.

New Features

• Add a new class called NID for accessing the recently released National Inventory of Dams web service. This service is based on ArcGIS's RESTful service. So now the user just need to instantiate the class like so NID() and with three methods of AGRBase class, the user can retrieve the data. These methods are: bygeom, byids, and bysql. Moreover, it has a attrs property that includes descriptions of the database fields with their units.
• Refactor NWIS.get_info to be more generic by accepting any valid queries that are documented at USGS Site Web Service.
• Allow for passing a list of queries to NWIS.get_info and use async_retriever that significantly improves the network response time.
• Add two new flags to interactive_map for limiting the stations to those with daily values (dv=True) and/or instantaneous values (iv=True). This function now includes a link to stations webpage on USGS website.

Internal Changes

• Use persistent caching for all send/receive requests that can significantly improve the network response time.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue with the nlcd function where none layers are not dropped and cause the function to fails.

0.7.0 (2020-8-12)

This version divides PyGeoHydro into six standalone Python libraries. So many of the changes listed below belong to the modules and functions that are now a separate package. This decision was made for reducing the complexity of the code base and allow the users to only install the packages that they need without having to install all the PyGeoHydro dependencies.

Breaking changes

• The services module is now a separate package called PyGeoOGCC and is set as a requirement for PyGeoHydro. PyGeoOGC is a leaner package with much fewer dependencies and is suitable for people who might only need an interface to web services.
