  • In this tutorial, you will learn how to derive a river network through the identification of Strahler Order, and how to derive the corresponding catchment (watershed) pertaining to a defined outlet location along the river. The tool which is being used for this delineation of catchment and the derivation of the stream network is the SAGA tool of QGIS.

    When I apply the fill_sinks function, nothing changes in my data set. It has the same values as the DEM before. As soon as I apply the Strahler-tool, I get only a diffuse image (with 12 Strahler-classes) and no flow lines even after filtering for exclusively higher Strahler-orders (Strahler-order >=9). What can be the reason for this?

  • @ata1088
    @ata1088 4 года назад

    Very clear explanation, thank you. If heavy rain falls, can we predict the possible flooded area by this method? I think we should also look at satellite images to detect flooded areas from the past in order to be sure. Do you suggest more?

    • @geodeltalabs
      @geodeltalabs  4 года назад +5

      Hi, a great question!
      To do a more realistic and an accurate simulation of the flooded area, you will have to use some hydrodynamic simulation tools, particularly for simulating river floods. You can use what we have discussed in this tutorial to, let's say, derive the corresponding catchment which can be used in a hydrological model to simulate the discharge from that catchment under design rainfall conditions (since your interest is in simulating floods).
      Once you do this, you can use the simulated discharge from the hydrological model as an inflow boundary condition to a hydrodynamic model which can actually simulate the water level of the river along the river stretch which you are interested to see whether it floods or otherwise. If you use a 1D hydrodynamic model like MIKE 11, you will only be able to simulate the water level along the river banks, and by seeing how high the water level rises over the banks, you might be able to get an idea of the stretches of the river which can actually flood under the given inflow boundaries. However, if you want let the flood water move into the flood plain, you will have to use a 2D hydrodynamic model such as MIKE 21 + MIKE 11 or HEC-RAS (recent versions) to see how much of an inundation happens in the adjacent flood plains. And yes, you may use satellite images to sort of validate your hydrodynamic models by checking whether the model is able to simulate the flood extents as closely as possible to the real historical floods :)
