NextGen In A Box


NextGen In A Box is a community-accessible verison of NextGen Water Resources Modeling Framework (NextGen). It simplifies deployment through containerization, which allows the entire NextGen workflow to be run using just a single script. Additionally, the broader NextGen In A Box ecosystem offers essential tools to improve, validate, and visualize your models at every stage of the process.
