ANUGA (pronounced "AHnooGAH") is open-source software for the simulation of the shallow water equation, in particular it can be used to model tsunamis and floods.
ANUGA is a python 3 package with some C and Cython extensions (and an optional fortran extension).
ANUGA is developed at Geoscience Australia, Mathematical Sciences Institute at the Australian National University and volunteers.
Althought ANUGA was created in a collaboration by Geoscience Australia and Mathematical Sciences Institute at the Australian National University, it is now developed and maintained by a community of volunteers.

ANUGA is available from either https://github.com/anuga-community/anuga_core or https://github.com/GeoscienceAustralia/anuga_core.
The Python 3.x version is the default and available in the main branches of both repositories.
If you rely on the deprecated Python 2.7 version, it is available in branches named anuga_py2.
The python 3 version of ANUGA will continue to be developed and the most up-to-date versions will be available from the anuga-community repository.
