SPHY model Pre-Processor interface plugin for QGIS

Version 1.0 (developed by FutureWater)

This interface is developed as plugin for QGIS, and is used to create SPHY model input data based on a database.
Currently two databases are available to be used with the Pre-Processor:

1. Hindu-Kush-Himalaya
2. Southeast Africa

These databases can be downloaded from the SPHY model website. SPHY model manuals and case-studies can also be found on this website.

The Pre-Processor plugin uses data from Natural Earth as background layers. This is not included in this repository due to its file size. You can download a countries shapefile and raster data from the Natural Earth website. After downloading, create a "NaturalEarthData" folder inside the "SphyPreProcess" folder. Within the "NaturalEarthData" folder you need to:

1. Paste the downloaded shapefile and rename it to: "ne_10m_admin_0_countries.shp"
2. Create a "HYP_50M_SR_W" folder and paste the raster into this folder and name it to: "HYP_50M_SR_W/HYP_50M_SR_W.tif"
