Optimization of a Network of Hydrometric Stations: Case of the Sota River Basin, Benin # optimization-hydrologic-station-network Optimization of a Network of Hydrometric Stations: Case of the Sota River Basin, Benin ## Data The table below presents the datasets used in this research. | Description | Format | Reference | | --- | --- | --- | | Topographic data: CGIAR-CSI global digital elevation model (SRTM 90m database) | Tag Image File Format (TIF) | Reuter H.I., Nelson A., Jarvis A. (2007) | | Precipitation data: CHIRPS global and spatially distributed daily precipitation data from 1981 to 2010 | NetCDF4 (NC) | Funk C., Peterson P., Landsfeld M. et al. (2015) | | Soil data: ORSTOM spatially distributed soil data in Benin | Shapefile (SHP) | ORSTOM (1978) | | River, forest and road data: IGN shapefiles | Shapefile (SHP) | IGN (2002) | | Metadata of hydrometric stations: coordinates and installation date | Texte (TXT) | DG-EAU (2008) | CGIAR-CSI: Consortium for Spatial Information, CHIRPS: Climate Hazards group Infrared Precipitation with Stations, DGEAU: Direction Générale de l’Eau, IGN: Institut Géographique National, ORSTOM: Overseas Scientific and Technical Research Office ## Description of the notebooks The notebooks should be viewed in the following order: - Download CHIRPS data on SRB: downloads CHIRPS precipitation data and clips it over the study area with Google Colab - Homogeneous Climate Zone: determines the homogeneous climate zones - Homogeneous Permeability Zone: determines the homogeneous permeability zones - Homogeneous Relief Zone: determines the homogeneous relief zones - Theoretically Homogeneous Hydrological Zones: determines the theoretically homogeneous hydrological zones - Station Location: suggests locations for new hydrometric stations - Other: justifies the optimization step and calculates the percentage of forest ## Methodology ## Anaconda Environment Install local environment using an Anaconda Prompt: ``` conda env create pyaj/GIS ``` Or download environment requirements here
