+Fast and direct geospatial raster I/O for Python programmers who use Numpy.
+
+This package is aimed at developers who want little more than to read raster
+images into Numpy arrays or buffers, operate on them in Python (or Cython), and
+write the results out to new GeoTIFF files.
+
+Rasterio employs GDAL under the hood for file I/O and raster formatting.
