eWaterCycle Python package

The eWaterCycle package makes it easier to use hydrological models without having intimate knowledge about how to install and run the models.

• Uses container for running models in an isolated and portable way with grpc4bmi
• Generates rain and sunshine required for the model using ESMValTool
• Supports observation data from GRDC or USGS
• Exposes simple interface to quickly get up and running
