logical should the gagesII basin also be returned? If True, return value will be a list with "site" and "basin" elements.
a simple features (sf) object
The returned object(s) will have the same
Spatial Reference System (SRS) as the input AOI. If a individual or set of
IDs are used to query, then the default geoserver CRS of EPSG:4326 is
preserved. In all cases, a user-defined SRS can be passed to t_srs
which will override all previous SRS (either input or default).
All buffer and distance operations are handled internally using in
