Data Component Use Case for Overland Flow Simulation

This repository includes a Jupyter Notebook which demonstrates how to use the CSDMS Data Component to download the topography dataset and use the Landlab components to delineate the watershed and simulate the overland flow for a study area in the Boulder County.

This Jupyter Notebook is part of the work for a research paper "CSDMS Data Components: data-model integration tools for Earth surface processes modeling".
