# Watershed Delineation

A Python package for automatic watershed delineation from a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and a pour point (longitude & latitude).  
It uses [WhiteboxTools](https://github.com/jblindsay/whitebox-tools), [GeoPandas](https://geopandas.org/), and [Rasterio](https://rasterio.readthedocs.io/) to perform hydrologic analysis and export shapefiles with watershed attributes.

---

## 📦 Installation

```bash
pip install watershed-delineation
```

Requirements: Python 3.9 or later. Dependencies like `rasterio` and `geopandas` ship wheels for most platforms, but a recent `pip` is recommended.

---

## 🚀 Usage

### From Python

```python
from watershed_delineation.core import delineate_watershed

# Input parameters
dem_path = r"F:\data\dem.tif"
pour_lon = 32.561170
pour_lat = 39.835840
output_dir = r"C:\results"
watershed_name = "my_basin"

# Run delineation
result_path = delineate_watershed(
    dem_path=dem_path,
    pour_lon=pour_lon,
    pour_lat=pour_lat,
    output_dir=output_dir,
    name=watershed_name,
    export_lfp=True   # also export Longest Flow Path
)

print("Watershed shapefile saved at:", result_path)
```

---

### From the Command Line

After installation, run:

```bash
delineate_watershed "F:\data\dem.tif" 32.561170 39.835840 -o "C:\results" -n "my_basin" --export-lfp
```

Arguments:

- `dem_file` → Path to DEM raster (`.tif`)
- `pour_lon` → Longitude of pour point
- `pour_lat` → Latitude of pour point
- `-o`, `--output` → Output directory (default: current dir)
- `-n`, `--name` → Base name of shapefile (default: watershed_lat_lon)
- `--export-lfp` → Export Longest Flow Path shapefile

---

## 📂 Output

- **`my_basin.shp`** → Watershed polygon shapefile with attributes:
  - Area, perimeter
  - Longest flow path length
  - Form factor, circularity ratio
  - Elevation statistics (min, max, mean)
  - Mean slope
  - Drainage density
  - Pour point coordinates

- **`my_basin_lfp.shp`** *(optional)* → Longest flow path polyline shapefile

---

## 🛠 Development

Clone and install in editable mode:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/fyec/watershed-delineation.git
cd watershed-delineation
pip install -e .
```

Rebuild after code changes with:

```bash
python -m build
```
