HBV-BMI

Basic Model Interface (BMI) HBV model intended for use with eWaterCycle. See said repo for installation instructions.

HBV (Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansavdelning) is a conceptual hydrological model. For more information on its history, see this paper.

This current implementation is without a snow reservoir, as shown below. (Image from the course ENVM1502 - river basin Hydrology (Markus Hrachowitz).)

Actual eWatercycle model wrapper can be found on GitHub with accompanying documentation

Feel free to fork/duplicate this repo and publish your own (better) version.

separate use

Can also be used as a standalone package in theory - not advised:

pip install HBV

Then HBV becomes available as one of the eWaterCycle models

from HBV import HBV

model = HBV()

Be aware of the non-intuitive BMI implementation as this package is designed to run in a docker container.
