about=Click a point on any river in the world and get the basin draining into it, then pull DEM, land cover, soil, rainfall, surface water, rivers and lakes for that basin -- clipped and masked to the polygon, not to its bounding box. No account is needed for any of it. Delineation is validated against published gauge areas on six continents.
    EXTERNAL DEPENDENCY: this plugin requires the Python package "basinkit", which QGIS does not ship. If it is missing the plugin will tell you the exact pip command for your QGIS Python installation. See the plugin homepage for details.

# The pip distribution this plugin needs. QGIS does not ship it, and there is
# no mechanism to install it automatically, so the plugin detects it at load
# and hands the user a command that works. Declaring it here is what puts it in
# the "External dependencies" field on plugins.qgis.org.

changelog=0.3.2
    - Declares its pip dependency in the external_deps metadata field, so it
      shows in the External dependencies box on the plugin page.

    0.3.1
    - Fixed 16 Qt6 compatibility issues found by the plugin repository's own
      checker: every Qt and QGIS enum is now spelled with its full scope
      (QgsWkbTypes.Type.Polygon rather than QgsWkbTypes.Polygon, and so on).
      The scoped spelling works on both PyQt5 and PyQt6, so QGIS 3.28 onwards
      and QGIS 4 are both covered by one code path, with no version guard.
    - A test now scans the plugin for unscoped enums, so they cannot come back.

    0.3.0
    The plugin version now tracks the basinkit package version, so it is clear
    which plugin goes with which package. No algorithm has changed since 0.1.0.
    - Fixed: on macOS the "package missing" notice printed the QGIS application
      binary instead of an interpreter, so the suggested pip command opened a
      second QGIS window and installed nothing. A path is now offered only once
      it is verified to be a python executable, and there is a Python Console
      snippet that needs no path at all
    - New icon: the b is drawn as a river basin with a dendritic stream network
      draining to a single outlet
    - Pairs with basinkit 0.3.0, which adds Basin.morphometry() -- the classical
      Horton-Strahler-Schumm parameters -- to the Python API
    0.1.0
    First release.
    - Delineate a basin from a canvas click, globally, via HydroBASINS graph traversal or DEM flow routing
    - Fetch DEM, land cover, soil, surface water, rivers and lakes clipped to the basin
    - Basin statistics: area, relief, mean slope, land cover fractions, bounding-box efficiency
    - Every algorithm runs in the Processing framework, so batch mode and the Model Builder work
