HydroSuite: Open-Source Community-Oriented Software Suite for Hydrological Research and Education
Day 3 Session 1 (10:30 AM)
Presenters:
Ibrahim Demir, Tulane University
Yusuf Sermet, University of Iowa
Carlos Erazo, University of Iowa
HydroSuite is a collection of web-based open-source software libraries created to streamline hydrologic workflows by leveraging cutting-edge web technologies. It is a comprehensive framework that enables users to access analytical tools directly through their web browser, making it easier to democratize hydrologic data and analysis within the community. HydroSuite covers key aspects of hydrology, such as data management, computing capabilities, communication platforms, and community portals. By offering end-to-end libraries that simplify data integration and enhance usability, this collection eliminates the need for complex local installations, utilizing efficient task allocations through server and client-side technologies. Through this framework, users can expect a more efficient and user-friendly approach to hydrologic analysis. The main purpose of the libraries is to broaden the impact within the hydrologic community by facilitating collaboration, knowledge sharing, and innovation. We aim to improve the educational, research, and operational settings of the community by enabling an in-browser all-in-one shareable toolbox.
