HydroLang and HydroCompute Demonstration

This application demonstrates two projects developed by the University of Iowa Hydroinformatics Lab (UIHI Lab): HydroLang and HydroCompute. HydroLang is an open-source web framework designed for hydrology and water resources research. It offers JavaScript functions for various tasks, including retrieving and manipulating hydrologic data, performing statistical operations, generating graphical data representations, and mapping geospatial data. HydroCompute, on the other hand, is an open-source computational library geared towards hydrology and environmental sciences. It operates natively in web browsers and utilizes state-of-the-art computation standards to enable web applications to tap into the computational capabilities of the devices they run on. This includes leveraging multithreading with web workers, processing with GPUs, and running executables built in WebAssembly (WASM). This application serves as the solution for HydroCompute Case Study 3: Dashboard for Station Statistical Analysis tutorial. This tutorial was developed by the University of Iowa Hydroinformatics Lab for the 2023 CIROH Developer Conference.
