Open Source Python Packages in Hydrology
========================================
My attempt to list interesting open source python projects that can be used in the field of Hydrology. Suggestions as issues or pull requests are welcome!

UPDATE: The Pypa package authority has now added ["Hydrology" as a classifier](https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/5728) so we can start [collecting python packages](https://pypi.org/search/?q=&o=&c=Topic+%3A%3A+Scientific%2FEngineering+%3A%3A+Hydrology) used by the hydrological community! If you are maintaining a python package, please add `Topic :: Scientific/Engineering :: Hydrology` to your setup.py so people can find your package.
