A Python Library for Sewer Network Generation in Data Scarce Regions

This article presents pysewer, an open-source Python library that automatically generates gravity-prioritised sewer networks from minimal input data—roads, building locations, and elevation models—originally designed for data-scarce settings in emerging countries, producing fully connected and dimensioned networks that minimise reliance on pumping infrastructure.
