Overview

About

Maintained by Conrad WaskoCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Events from individual hydrologic time series are extracted, and events are matched across multiple time series. The package has been applied in studies such as Wasko and Guo (2022) doi:10.1002/hyp.14563 and Mohammadpour Khoie, Guo and Wasko (2025) doi:10.1016/j.envsoft.2025.106521.

Changes in 0.13.0

Fixed minor bug in plotEvents with colouring
Added new functions:
1. eventRVEIM, the Robust Variance-based Event Identification Method (RVEIM), which identifies rainfall-runoff events given rainfall and runoff time series.
2. postCorrection, which process/Correct the paired rainfall-runoff events identified based on two different methods (see .Rd file for details)
3. calcREIC, which calculates the REIC value for a set of rainfall–runoff events given rainfall, quickflow,

and event data, following the approach introduced in Mohammadpour Khoie et al. (2025). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2025.106521. REIC is a simple objective metric to assess the plausibility of the rainfall-runoff events chosen.

Added new dataset:
1. hourlyQ, and hourly streamflow dataset to demonstrate event identification with hourly data.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("hydroEvents", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("conradwasko/hydroEvents")

Development version from conradwasko/hydroEvents. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-hydroevents

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-hydroEvents

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-hydroEvents

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
