Description

Describe the feature you'd like to see

The calculation of the runoff for the estimation of the hydro time series exploits the hydrobasins shape by hydroshed. Different hydrobasins shapes are available, including or not lakes for example but also different resolution (or hydrobasin level). A nice feature for beginners would be to investigate the effect of different hydrobasins.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Compare different hydrobasin resolutions and investigate their impact on runoff calculations. Start by reading the existing code that uses hydrobasins, then run the model with different hydrobasin levels and analyze the differences in hydro time series.
