HYBASBasinLimits_Lake: Create HydroBASINS catchment for a hydrometric station on a...

In ECCC-MSC/Basin-Delineation: Finds upstream area and upstream stations

Description

Create Hydrobasins upstream boundaries for a hydrometric station on a lake using the HydroBASINS data product

Usage

HYBASBasinLimits_Lake(station_point, HYBAS, lakes_folder, output_folder, code,
  stn_num_col = "station_number", stn_name_col = "station_name")

Arguments

station_point	a Spatialpointsdataframe of the hydrometric station
output_folder	character string, file path indicating where to save the final output shapefile
code	classification code describing station location. relative to waterbodies and containing hydrobasins polygon
stn_num_col	character string of the column name in station_point data frame that contains the station name, defaults to "station_number"
stn_name_col	character string of the column name in station_point data frame that contains the station name, defaults to "station_name"

Details

This function uses the following classification system for the code parameter, which describes the location of the station relative to the containing hydrobasin and the waterbody with which it is associated:

P: containing sub-basin has 2 input sub-basins Pcb Waterbody continues upstream and station on main branch below confluence Pct Waterbody continues upstream and station on tributary branch above confluence Pcm Waterbody continues upstream and station on main branch above confluence Ps Waterbody terminates upstream within sub-basin

I: containing sub-basin has 1 input sub-basins Ic Waterbody continues upstream Is Waterbody terminates upstream within sub-basin

T: containing sub-basin has 0 input sub-basins

Value

A list containing two spatialpolygons data frames (the lake and the catchment area)
