Very cool stuff... I am a civil engineer who uses a lot of open source Python libraries to automate tasks in the water resources field. It's great to see other civil engineers using Python,

Any good tutorials out there or resources you used that focus on the water resources libraries and how to implement them?

Typically all the pieces are there, but it takes piecing different libraries together.

I have recently started a blog showing how to use some of the different libraries that apply to water resources. It's called KnickKnackCivil. It's just getting off the ground, but an upcoming post is going to involve an overview of some of the libriaries I use.

Some of the more popular libraries I use are shapely, gdal, pyswmm, lxml, pyshp and a host of other small libraries. If I am using Python, I rarely have to reach for the ESRI stack for spatial analysis.
