Reason or Problem
hand() (in xrspatial/hand.py) and twi() (in xrspatial/twi.py) are both implemented with multi-backend support, but neither is listed in the README feature matrix. Anyone scanning the README for available operations won't find them.
Proposal
Add rows for HAND and TWI to the Hydrology section of the README feature matrix.
HAND (Height Above Nearest Drainage) backend support:
- NumPy: native (Kahn's BFS kernel)
- Dask+NumPy: native (iterative tile sweep with BoundaryStore)
- CuPy: CPU fallback
- Dask+CuPy: CPU fallback
TWI (Topographic Wetness Index) backend support:
- NumPy: native
- CuPy: native
- Dask+NumPy: native
- Dask+CuPy: CPU fallback
Stakeholders and Impacts
Documentation only. No code changes.
Drawbacks
None.
