Geographic application map#

Where HydroModPy has been deployed. The map below catalogues the catchments covered by published or in-preparation studies built on HydroModPy. Each entry links to the corresponding gallery case when available.

The interactive Leaflet variant of this map is on the Phase 3 roadmap. For now the page provides a structured table and a static schematic ordered by region.

How to add a site#

Send a pull request that adds a row to the table above and the matching BibTeX entry under docs/source/theory/references.bib. Include the catchment name, region, country, solver(s) used, and the DOI when available. The interactive map will pick up the same metadata once the Leaflet integration ships.
