Welcome to the PyDeltaRCM documentation

pyDeltaRCM is a computationally efficient, free and open source, and easy-to-customize numerical delta model based on the original DeltaRCM model design (Matlab DeltaRCM model by Man Liang). pyDeltaRCM delivers improved model stability and capabilities, infrastructure to support exploration with minimal boilerplate code, and establishes an approach to extending model capabilities that ensures reproducible and comparable studies.
