Hydrology in R

This page contains R code that may be useful for hydrological analysis and modelling. The routines use mainly functions that are available in the standard R packages. At the beginning of each page, non-standard packages will be listed. They can be downloaded from CRAN. Some routines use specific code and routines that are available in the TOPMODEL package.
