HAND

Create a large scale (possibly) global HAND raster. The repository contains a script to create the HAND index a .yml file to build a suitable conda environment to run the script.

NOTE: The current version of Pysheds (i.e. one of the packages used in the processing chain) has some bugs which need to be fixes as described here : https://github.com/mdbartos/pysheds/pull/268. Chiefely, the "pgrid.py", "sgrid.py", "sview.py" scipts need to be replaced in the conda intallation of the package.

The script requires as an data inputs: 1. a DEM (possibly a DTM). 2. the "occurrence" dataset of the Global Surface Water Explorer - GSWE (https://global-surface-water.appspot.com/download)

The script allowes the user to cahnge the following input parameters: 1. The upstream area required to initialize a drainage cell 2. The flow direction method used to identify drainage directions 3. A threshold frequency used for thresholding the "occurrence" layer of the GSWE in order to identify water bodies 4. A threshold area for filtering small contiguous water bodies (i.e. contiguous water bodies smaller than the threshold will be removed and not considered as drainage cells)
