About fasstr

fasstr (Flow Analysis Summary Statistics Tool for R), from the Province of British Columbia, analyses daily streamflow with an emphasis on the statistics Canadian practice reports: long-term summaries, annual and seasonal statistics, trend analysis (via zyp/Mann-Kendall), volume-frequency and low-flow frequency analyses — pulling records straight from Environment and Climate Change Canada's HYDAT database via tidyhydat.

For Canadian hydrology it is the shortest path from gauge to defensible statistics; elsewhere it still offers one of the tidiest streamflow-statistics APIs in R.
