**`pygeoglim`** is a Python package for extracting geology attributes—specifically lithological and hydrogeological properties—from **GLiM** and **GLHYMPS** datasets for any region or watershed in CONUS region. It is built for use in hydrological modeling, large-sample hydrology, and Earth system research.

## 📦 Installation

### From PyPI (Recommended)
```bash
pip install pygeoglim
```

### From GitHub
```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/galib9690/pygeoglim.git
```

### Development Mode
```bash
git clone https://github.com/galib9690/pygeoglim.git
cd pygeoglim
pip install -e .
```

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Basic Usage

```python
from pygeoglim import load_geometry, glim_attributes, glhymps_attributes

# Load geometry from bounding box
geom = load_geometry(bbox=[-85.5, 39.5, -85.0, 40.0])

# Extract lithology attributes (GLiM)
glim = glim_attributes(geom)

# Extract hydrogeology attributes (GLHYMPS)
glhymps = glhymps_attributes(geom)

# Combine results
attributes = {glim, glhymps}
print(attributes)
```

### Using Shapefile Input

You can also pass a shapefile path instead of a bounding box:

```python
# Load geometry from shapefile
geom = load_geometry(shapefile="path/to/watershed.shp")

# Extract attributes
glim = glim_attributes(geom)
glhymps = glhymps_attributes(geom)
```

## 📊 Extracted Attributes

### Lithology (GLiM Dataset)
| Attribute | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| `geol_1st_class` | Dominant lithology class |
| `glim_1st_class_frac` | Fraction of dominant class |
| `geol_2nd_class` | Second most common lithology class |
| `glim_2nd_class_frac` | Fraction of second most common class |
| `carbonate_rocks_frac` | Fraction of carbonate rocks |

### Hydrogeology (GLHYMPS Dataset)
| Attribute | Description | Units |
|-----------|-------------|-------|
| `geol_porosity` | Area-weighted porosity | fraction |
| `geol_permeability` | Area-weighted permeability | log₁₀ m² |
| `geol_permeability_linear` | Permeability (linear scale) | m² |
| `hydraulic_conductivity` | Hydraulic conductivity | m/s |
