Seamless extraction of river networks from digital elevation models data. The package allows analysis of digital elevation models that can be either externally provided ordownloaded from open source repositories (thus interfacingwith the 'elevatr' package). Extraction is performed via the 'D8' flow direction algorithm of TauDEM (Terrain Analysis Using Digital Elevation Models), thus interfacing with the 'traudem' package. Resulting river networks are compatible with functions from the 'OCNet' package. See Carraro (2023) <doi:10.5194/hess-27-3733-2023> for a presentation of the package.
