description=Delineate and create model-ready catchments interactively. Trace D8 flow paths, selects the streams that matter, drop an outlet line, and export straight to GeoPackage, RORB, WBNM, XP-RAFTS, TUFLOW or URBS.
version=2.1
changelog=2.1 - Export to URBS (.vec/.csv): thanks Callan Shonrock for being the SME for URBS, feedback and testing. Every model export now also writes companion shapefiles (subareas, centroids, sub-area entry points, nodal links and streams) carrying the same sub-area IDs as the model file. Multiple oulet lines can be drawn, with a warning when a multi-outlet model is sent to the single-outlet formats (RORB, WBNM, XP-RAFTS). RORB sub-area nodes are placed on the main stream adjacent to the sub-area centroid. TUFLOW writes one catchment per drawn outlet line, and the companion stream shapefiles are dissolved by Strahler order.
    2.0 - Back compatibility and support for earlier QGIS versions (Long Term Release 3.22) and a much faster interactive overlay.
    1.0 - First release

about=Setting up a hydrologic model usually means a few hours of GIS prep work 
    before the modelling even starts. DDM HydroLogic condenses some of the initial steps
    into one interactive session: it traces D8 flow paths from a DEM, ranks them by 
    Strahler order, and lets you pick the relevant drainage.
    Draw an outlet line, set a minimum subcatchment size, and DDM HydroLogic cuts 
    the catchment into dissolved subcatchment polygons — then you have choices of exporting as:

    GeoPackage of flow paths and subcatchments,
    RORB .catg GE-ready catchment file,
    WBNM .wbn runfile,
    XP-RAFTS .xpx exchange file,
    some of the most popular TUFLOW xxx_R.shp,
    or URBS .vec routing and .csv catchment files.

    It is important to note that all hydrological/hydraulic choices and parameters, such as 
    rainfall, losses, Manning's coefficients, subcatchment types, slope, etc..
    have been deliberately left blank or default values.

    Requirements and notes: QGIS 3.22 or newer, with no extra Python packages to
    install (it relies on the numpy and GDAL libraries already bundled with
    QGIS). Work for DEMs in projected CRS for meaningful areas and lengths.
