Minor update - Variogram initial est. improved

This version includes the following minor improvements:

1. Variogram initial bounds for the calibration is set to plausible limits, which should improve the robustness of the calibration. Specifically, the upper bound of:

   • the range is <= half the study area extent (according to the point data).
   • the partial sill is <= 50% of the observed variance/2
   • the nugget is <= 25% of the observed variance/2

2. If fixed head data is input, the data is checked to ensure it contains the columns 'elev' and 'head' (or 'depth').

Minor update - DEM smoothing improved

This version includes the following minor improvements:

1. DEM smoothing buffer added to allow observations to be on the boundary. Buffer grid cells are excluded from the kriging.
2. DEM smoothing kernel grid cell size added as a user input.
3. DEM smoothing kernel size increased from 5x5 to 11x11 grid cells.
4. DEM smoothing undertaken using user set number of cores.
5. Documentation improve to list all function inputs.

HydroMap - first realease

This is the first release of HydroMap.

The core mapping features are functional and the examples built into the documentation are functional. The procedure for using the calibration results in the mapping has been made easier. See ?krige.head.calib.
