Lisflood Utilities is a set of tools to help LISFLOOD users (or any users of PCRaster/NetCDF files) to execute some mundane tasks that are necessary to operate Lisflood. Here's a list of the tools you can find in the lisflood-utilities package.

• catchstats calculates catchment statistics (mean, sum, std, min, max...) from NetCDF4 files given masks created with cutmaps.

• cddmap is a tool to generate correlation decay distance (CDD) maps starting from station timeseries

• compare is a package containing a set of simple Python classes that helps to compare NetCDF, PCRaster and TSS files.

• cutmaps is a tool to cut NetCDF files in order to reduce size. There are several options to define the extent, either as a bounding box or a catchment.

• gridding is a tool to interpolate meteo variables observations stored in text files containing (lon, lat, value) into grids.

• lfcoords is a tool that finds the appropriate coordinates in the LISFLOOD river network for any point (gauging station, dam...).

• nc2pcr is a tool to convert a NetCDF file into PCRaster maps.

• ncextract is a tool to extract values from NetCDF4 (or GRIB) file(s) at specific coordinates.

• pcr2nc is a tool to convert PCRaster maps to NetCDF4 files.

• thresholds is a tool to compute the discharge return period thresholds from NetCDF4 file containing a discharge time series.

• water-demand-historic is a package allowing to generate sectoral (domestic, livestock, industry, and thermoelectric) water demand maps with monthly to yearly temporal steps for a range of past years, at the users’ defined spatial resolution and geographical extent. These maps are required by the LISFLOOD OS water use module.

• waterregions is a package containing two scripts that allow to create and verify a water regions map, respectively.

The package contains convenient classes for reading/writing:

• PCRasterMap
• PCRasterReader
• NetCDFMap
• NetCDFWriter
