In bcgov/tidyhydat: Extract and Tidy Canadian 'Hydrometric' Data

Download and set the path to HYDAT

Description

Download the HYDAT sqlite database. This database contains all the historical hydrometric data for Canada's integrated hydrometric network. The function will check for a existing sqlite file and won't download the file if the same version is already present.

Usage

download_hydat(dl_hydat_here = NULL, ask = TRUE)

Arguments

dl_hydat_here	Directory to the HYDAT database. The path is chosen by the rappdirs package and is OS specific and can be view by hy_dir(). This path is also supplied automatically to any function that uses the HYDAT database. A user specified path can be set though this is not the advised approach. It also downloads the database to a directory specified by hy_dir().
ask	Whether to ask (as TRUE/FALSE) if HYDAT should be downloaded. If FALSE the keypress question is skipped.

Examples

## Not run: 
download_hydat()

## End(Not run)
