Install
pip install hydroevalAbout hydroeval
hydroeval does one thing: evaluate simulated against observed streamflow with the standard efficiency metrics — Nash-Sutcliffe, the Kling-Gupta family (original, 2012, non-parametric), RMSE, MARE, and Bounded versions — implemented on NumPy with proper NaN handling.
It earns its place by being the boring, correct dependency: no plotting opinions, no data model, just vetted metric implementations you can cite. Pair it with any model wrapper or forecasting pipeline where a hand-rolled NSE would invite subtle bugs.
