Hydrology in R

This page contains examples of hydrological analysis and modelling using R. The routines use mainly functions that are available in the standard R packages. When non-standard packages are needed, they are listed at the beginning of each page. These can be downloaded and installed from CRAN. We also make some specific packages available on this wiki.
