kootqlt

Introduction

An R Package to query discharge, elevation and temperature data from an SQLite database for the West Kootenay region of British Columbia.

The SQLite database which houses the actual data is not provided with the package and must be requested from [e-mail].

Installation

kootqlt is available from GitHub

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("poissonconsulting/kootqlt")

or the Poisson R Archive Network (PoisRAN)

# install.packages("drat")
drat::addRepo("poissonconsulting")
install.packages("kootqlt")

Utilization

After installing the kootqlt R package, make sure the SQLite database kootqlt.sqlite is in dir (by default the working directory), select the stations (the tbl data frame kootqlt::station has information on all the possible stations) and date range of interest and then use kootqlt::qlt_download_data() to get the data you need.

The DateTimeReading column in the returned data is the date and time of the reading with time zone Etc/GMT+8 (which corresponds to Pacific Standard Time without daylight savings). To convert to a Date use as.Date(tz = "Etc/GMT+8") or better yet lubridate::date().
