Abstract: |
Chapter 8 "Hydrological Analysis Based on the DTM" presents a typical example of utilizing the Digital Terrain Model (DTM) in the field of Water Resources, with the aid of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology. Topics covered include the determination of drainage and flow direction grids, as well as the identification of the watershed and the hydrographic network. The chapter discusses methods for determining the hierarchy of the branches of the hydrographic network and calculating derived metrics of hydrographic formations resulting from the DTM, such as area, average elevation and slopes of the watershed, length, length by class, average slope of the main branch, main branch profile, and cross-sections at characteristic locations of the hydrographic network.
