Example Projects

We provide several example projects. You can download them to familiarise yourself with HydPy’s project structure, try out the tutorials, or freely experiment with more advanced features. Note that all example projects are also included in each HydPy release. We use them to explain and test HydPy in several documentation sections.

HydPy-H-Lahn

HydPy-H-Lahn is a complete project data set for the German river Lahn, provided by the German Federal Institute of Hydrology (BfG). The Lahn is a medium-sized tributary to the Rhine. The catchment consists of four sub-catchments, each with a river gauge (Marburg, Asslar, Leun, Kalkofen) at its outlet. The sub-catchments consist of a different number of zones.

The meteorological input data stems from the gridded precipitation data set HYRAS-DE PRE v5.0, the gridded temperature dataset HYRAS-DE TAS v5.0, and the gridded global shortwave radiation dataset HYRAS-DE RSDS v3.0 of the German Weather Service (DWD), which was spatially averaged over HydPy-H-HBV96 subbasins by the German Federal Insitute of Hydrology. The Hessian Agency for Nature Conservation, Environment and Geology (HLNUG) kindly provides the measurement data for the gauges Marburg and Asslar, and the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration (WSV) those of Kalkofen and Leun.
