Stream network for a 5-cell threshold drainage area.
Stream Network
Stream network for a 13.5-acres threshold drainage area (200 cells).
+ =
Take a mapped stream network and a DEM Make a grid of the streams Raise the off-stream DEM cells by an
arbitrary elevation increment Burned-in DEM streams = Mapped streams
Burning-in the Streams
Filling in the Pits
DEM creation results in artificial pits in the landscape
A pit is a set of one or more cells which has no downstream cells around it
Unless these pits are filled they become sinks and isolate portions of the watershed
Pit filling is first thing done with a DEM

Summary Concepts (1)
Topographic maps are the traditional way of representing land surface terrain and streams.
Watersheds can be hand-delineated from these maps.
DEM’s of equivalent accuracy are now available for most map series in the US.
DEM cell elevation is at the cell center.
Eight direction pour point model leads to flow direction and flow accumulation grids.
Summary Concepts (2)
Stream network is defined as cells whose flow accumulation exceeds a threshold.
Streams can be divided into links and sub-watersheds defined for them.
Watershed outlet is the cell with highest flow accumulation.
Resulting grids can be vectorized.
Standardized DEM data sources: 30m, 3”, 15”, 30”, which cover from local scale to the whole earth
