hydromt.MeshModel.setup_region

MeshModel.setup_region(region: dict, hydrography_fn: str = 'merit_hydro', basin_index_fn: str = 'merit_hydro_index') → dict

Set the region of interest of the model.

Adds model layer:

• region geom: region boundary vector

Parameters:

• region (dict) –

  Dictionary describing region of interest, e.g.:

  • {‘bbox’: [xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax]}

  • {‘geom’: ‘path/to/polygon_geometry’}

  • {‘basin’: [xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax]}

  • {‘subbasin’: [x, y], ‘<variable>’: threshold}

  For a complete overview of all region options, see :py:function:~hydromt.workflows.basin_mask.parse_region

• hydrography_fn (str) – Name of data source for hydrography data. FIXME describe data requirements

• basin_index_fn (str) – Name of data source with basin (bounding box) geometries associated with the ‘basins’ layer of hydrography_fn. Only required if the region is based on a (sub)(inter)basins without a ‘bounds’ argument.

Returns:

region – Parsed region dictionary

Return type:

dict
