LWI Model Naming Conventions: Stream naming algorithm

This software implements the Louisiana Watershed Initiative (LWI) stream naming algorithm, which is part of the LWI model data naming conventions. These conventions define the naming of physical features (watersheds, streams) as well as HEC-HMS hydrologic and HEC-RAS hydraulic model elements to be incorporated in watershed models developed under the auspices of the LWI.

Faithful application of these standards is critical to ensuring that LWI models are of high quality and are consistent with each other, to the greatest extent practicable. Consistency between models enables interoperability of models between geographies (e.g. coupled HUC8 watersheds) and across modeling frameworks (e.g. integrating HEC-RAS models with ADCIRC in the coastal zone).
