Rana Desktop Client
===================

The Rana Desktop Client is a powerful desktop application for working with hydrodynamic models in
detail. It is built on QGIS and offers expert users—such as hydrologists,
engineers, and modellers—the tools to:

* Build and refine 2D and 1D models
* Edit model schematisations and input data
* Run advanced simulations
* Analyse results in depth (e.g. flow paths, water levels, infiltration)

The Desktop Client complements the web-based Rana platform by offering full control over complex
modelling tasks. It’s especially useful for model calibration, scenario development, and technical
deep-dives that go beyond what the online interface provides.
