easysnowdata.hydroclimatology.get_grdc_major_river_basins_of_the_world(bbox_input: GeoDataFrame | tuple | BaseGeometry | None = None, **kwargs) → GeoDataFrame[source]#

Deprecated since version 0.1.0: easysnowdata.hydroclimatology.get_grdc_major_river_basins_of_the_world is deprecated since easysnowdata 0.1.0 and will be removed in 0.3.0. Use easysnowdata.hydro.basins.grdc_major instead. Basins that intersect the AOI are returned whole, not cut at its edge.

Retrieves GRDC Major River Basins of the World dataset.

Deprecated since version 0.1.0: Use easysnowdata.hydro.basins.grdc_major(). It returns the intersecting basins whole instead of clipping them to the AOI.

Parameters:

bbox_input (geopandas.GeoDataFrame, tuple, or Shapely Geometry, optional) – The bounding box for spatial subsetting. If None, the entire global dataset is returned.
**kwargs – Additional keyword arguments passed to easysnowdata.hydro.basins.grdc_major() (and on to geopandas.read_file).

Returns:

geopandas.GeoDataFrame – A GeoDataFrame containing the GRDC major river basins with associated attributes.
