Terrain analysis algorithms from the RichDEM library
About
A QGIS Processing provider exposing seven terrain-analysis algorithms from the RichDEM library: depression filling, depression breaching (including epsilon-gradient variant), flat resolution, flow accumulation, terrain attributes, depression hierarchy, and Fill-Spill-Merge surface water routing. EXTERNAL DEPENDENCY: The richdem Python package must be installed before use. In the OSGeo4W shell (Windows) or a terminal (Linux/macOS) run: pip install richdem The plugin will raise an informative error if richdem is not found.
