Extract annual max/min instantaneous flows and water levels from HYDAT database

Provides wrapper to turn the ANNUAL_INSTANT_PEAKS table in HYDAT into a tidy data frame of instantaneous flows and water levels. station_number and prov_terr_state_loc can both be supplied.

hy_annual_instant_peaks(
  station_number = NULL,
  hydat_path = NULL,
  prov_terr_state_loc = NULL,
  start_year = NULL,
  end_year = NULL
)

Arguments

station_number	A seven digit Water Survey of Canada station number. If this argument is omitted, the value of prov_terr_state_loc is returned.
hydat_path	The path to the hydat database or NULL to use the default location used by download_hydat. It is also possible to pass in an existing src_sqlite such that the database only needs to be opened once per user-level call.
prov_terr_state_loc	Province, state or territory. If this argument is omitted, the value of station_number is returned. See unique(allstations$prov_terr_state_loc). Will also accept CA to return only Canadian stations.
start_year	First year of the returned record
end_year	Last year of the returned record
