The Utah State University AppLied (USUAL) Watershed Toolkit is an ArcGIS Pro toolkit that automates the delineation of watersheds, sub-catchments, river-adjacent interfluves, and discretized river networks with the topological structure and feature attributes necessary for one-dimensional source-to-sink transport modeling in watersheds.
USUAL_USER_MANUAL_V1.pdf contains step by step instructions on how to download the toolkit, add the tookit to ArcGIS Pro, and details all inputs and outputs for each tool. Additional help can be accessed by hovering over inputs in the GUI or clicking on the ? in the upper right corner of each tool.
Note: In recent versions the script folder needs to be in the same folder as the toolbox, as the scripts are no longer embedded in the toolbox.

ArcGIS does not always allows for tables to be overwritten. Temporary solution: In this case delete the temp folder for the respective tool you are running and try rerunning.
Filenames with spaces can cause issues. I am working on incorporating a fix for this, however for the moment it is recommended that file names and paths does not contain spaces.
