[2pt] PR: fixed hydrotable nan values

[hhs732]

This PR fixes Hydrotables that have hydroIDs with nan values. These hydroids are associated with very small reaches which are linked to one-pixel catchments. Thus, those small reaches were removed in filter_catchments_and_add_attributes.py. This PR also removes the GMS catchments whose main streams are less than 1 m.
Also, tiny housekeeping has been done in filter_flows.py, no code change though.
This PR will close issue #1339.

Changes

• src:

  • filter_catchments_and_add_attributes.py: Lines of code have been added to the function filter_catchments_and_add_attributes to find streams that do NOT have upstream branches and they are so tiny.

  • split_flows.py: Reorganization of functions and script description.

Testing

This PR has been tested successfully on 25 HUC8s, including 04040002, 01010009, 01050002, 01060001, 01100003, 01100004, 01100006, 02030202, 02070011, 03010205, 03050111, 03090203, 04010102, 04080103, 04140101, 04290001, 07020012, 08010202, 09020104, 09030003, 10130205, 16060010, 17120005, 21010005, and 04040003.

Deployment Plan (For developer use)

How does the changes affect the product?

• Code only?
• [N/A] If applicable, has a deployment plan be created with the deployment person/team?
• [N/A] Require new or adjusted data inputs? Does it have start, end and duration code (in UTC)?
• [N/A] If new or updated data sets, has the FIM code been updated and tested with the new/adjusted data (subset is fine, but must be a subset of the new data)?
• [N/A] Require new pre-clip set?
• [N/A] Has new or updated python packages?

I checked some other HUC8s with lakes including 03100208, 02050103, 04030101, 04050002, 04040003, 04060101, and 16050101 to find the same issue. I am developing a script to find them CONUS-wise.

The issue is generated in split_flows.py, but for almost all HUC8 it is resolved in filter_catchments_and_add_attributes.py and gdal_rasterize, except 04040002.

HUC8 04040002 -- DEV
demDerived_reaches_0.gpkg, input of split_flows.py

demDerived_reaches_split_0.gpkg (issue generated here, output of split_flows.py).

demDerived_reaches_split_filtered_0.gpkg (issue still here, the output of filter_catchments_and_add_attributes.py)

[hhs732]

This PR fixes this issue in filter_catchments_and_add_attributes.py. The image below shows demDerived_reaches_split_filtered_0.gpkg after fixing the issue.

By fixing this issue, the nan values are also removed from the hydrotables.

Here is the list of catchments/huc8 that have single tiny reaches (no upstream).

Interestingly, some gms catchments are built around just one tiny stream, like catchment #617000007 in HUC 01100003:
