• Static, does not evolve
• Matching to linear line work due to scale
• Processing errors
• Interpretation errors
• Lack of ground truth
• Artificial versus real peaks and sinks

SinksSinks
• Depressions in the DEM where water gets trapped
• A sink prohibits calculating future flow direction grid values.
• A sink occurs when all neighboring cells are higher than the processing cell.
• Sometimes they are natural features!

Flow accumulationFlow accumulation• The accumulated flow is based upon the number of cells flowing into
each cell in the output grid. The current processing cell is not considered in this accumulation.
• Output cells with a high flow accumulation are areas of concentrated flow and may be used to identify stream channels.
• Output cells with a flow accumulation of zero are local topographic highs and may be used to identify ridges

Calculate drainage areaCalculate drainage areaFlow accumulation grid = tells us the number of cells of a certain area that flow to a point
![Page 29: Processing Elevation Data. Limitations of DEMs for hydro work Dates Static, does not evolve Matching to linear line work due to scale Processing errors](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bf741a28abf838c7f783/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Calculate drainage areaCalculate drainage area
So, if there are 280,721 cells that flow to that location…and each cell is 10m by 10m in size (100m2)
ThenThe total drainage area is (280,721) * (100) = 28,072,100 m2
Or28,072,100 m2 * 0.00024718 = 6,938 acres
Conversion of m2 to acre

SummarySummary
• Used 24K lines from NHD for reference
• Clipped streams to watershed boundary
• fill, flow direction, flow accumulation
• Drainage area calculation
• Raster streams, thinned
• Raised off stream elevation values
• Assigned true elevations to stream cells
• Combined the two for a hydrological “corrected” elevation surface
