Method library

Flood risk workflows

An overview of the available methods in HydroFlows is provided in this section. For more details regarding specific inputs, outputs, and parameters per Method, please refer to the method documentation in the API reference section.

For guidance on combining these methods for flood risk analysis with HydroFlows, see the Example workflows section for typical workflows.

HydroFlows methods can be categorized into three main groups, which are further discussed in subsections:

1. Data Methods (orange blocks in Figure) - Handle data retrieval, pre- and postprocessing for various data types.

2. Event Methods (purple blocks in Figure) - Generate historical, future, and design events for coastal, rainfall, and discharge data to be used as input for the hazard model.

3. Model-Related Methods (yellow and green blocks in Figure) - Building (model setup methods; yellow blocks), updating, running, and postprocessing (model methods; green blocks) of the supported models (i.e., SFINCS, Wflow, Delft-FIAT, FloodAdapt).
