River.lab
A software platform for landscape modelling: flood prediction, erosion and sediment transport, visualization
“landscapes in a changing world”
River.Lab is a software suite developed to calculate water flows in and on landscapes, including runoff and groundwater flows. It also calculates landscape shaping by erosion and sediment transport.
