How does a stream raster grid work in QGIS?
Operates on any grid and outputs an indicator (1, 0) grid identifing cells with input values >= the threshold value. The standard use is to use an accumulated source area grid to as the input grid to generate a stream raster grid as the output.
How does the Dist _ moved field work in QGIS?
The output file is a new outlets shapefile where each point has been moved to coincide with the stream raster grid, if possible. A field “dist_moved” is added to the new outlets shapefile to indicate the changes made to each point. Points that are already on a stream cell are not moved and their “dist_moved” field is assigned a value 0.
How to calculate slope of catchment area in QGIS?
The area exponent ( n) parameter which will be used in the formula: (Sm) (An), that is used to create the slope-area grid. A grid of slope-area values = (Sm) (An) calculated from the slope grid, specific catchment area grid, m slope exponent parameter, and n area exponent parameter.
How is drop analysis used in stream raster generation?
This is intended initially for use in stream raster generation to identify a threshold of the slope times area product that results in an optimum (according to drop analysis) stream network. If the optional outlet point shapefile is used, only the outlet cells and the cells upslope (by the D8 flow model) of them are in the domain to be evaluated.
How to determine the source of a stream?
An indicator grid (1,0) that evaluates A >= (M) (L^y), based on the maximum upslope path length, the D8 contributing area grid inputs, and parameters M and y. This grid indicates likely stream source grid cells.
How to automatically delineate a watershed in QGIS 3?
QGIS 3 has a set of hydrology tools to automatically delineate a river basin using GRASS tools, this entry shows the step-by-step procedure to execute this procedure (using QGIS version 3.10), previously it is recommended to download the DEM file for practice.
How to run grass tools in QGIS 3?
To run the GRASS tools it is recommended to have them activated in the QGIS 3 configuration, or alternatively to open (in Windows from the Start menu) the QGIS Desktop 3.10 with GRASS 7.8.0 application.
