USBR DSS Query Tool

Summary

This module reads regular time series data & meta-data from a HEC-DSS file into Python objects.

Acronyms

Abbreviation Name
DSS Data Storage System
DWR State of California Department of Water Resources
HEC U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Hydrologic Engineering Center
USBR U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation

Dependencies

This module relies on the functions compiled in bin/heclib_x64.dll, which was obtained from HEC.

Acknowledgments

James Gilbert is the original author of this module and developed a majority of the code while with USBR. His work is version controlled under the branch JMG.

Contact Information

This tool is maintained by USBR in Sacramento, CA. Contact Jim Shannon at jshannon@usbr.gov.

Future Development

Future development tasks will focus on the following priorities: 1. Remove dependency on numpy; 2. Expand documentation; 3. Address documentation wishlists in dss3_functions_reference.py.

Alternatives

pyhecdess is a well documented and stable library to query data from DSS into a pandas DataFrame. DWR maintains the library here with online documentation hosted here.
