sir, thats a great work on tutorial as you started from scratch(i.e source from where file csn be added to canvas), and we can easily follow you along step by step.

@happyverse_of_shikha 3 года назад

Very interesting video sir, now I am going to try this as I was facing difficulty earlier as to how I would go about dileneating my catchment. Thankyou ❤️

Thanks for the tutorial sir, kindly upload a video of Weighted overlay analysis using Whitebox tool, it would be of immense help to me.

Hi Dr Hans. Thank you for the guiding videos you produce. I am working on my project to delineate a lake watershed, where all the surrounding subcatchments are draining directly to the lake. I have been following your steps on all tools (PCRaster, SAGA, GRASS, Whitebox) to delineate, but none are working. I even tried using SWAT. Including this video (burning my own streams). Every step goes well until DEM fill. I think the tools are filling up the lake and nearby wetland area, finally giving me wrong output at "strahler" step. Water does not flow out of the lake! So, i wish you do a video on how to delineate a lake watershed (if possible with Whitebox tool) so we can follow your steps. Many thanks.

@MrLikeidontcare 3 года назад

Great video as always Hans. One query, can it also delineate separate subbasins within that watershed based on strahler number?

@HansvanderKwast 3 года назад

How to extract streams only for the study area?

@ambijat2 2 года назад

I find that Quick OSM may not be the best way to get all the river networks. Is there an alternate way similar to SAGA channels and draingage basins.

@HansvanderKwast 2 года назад

This step is needed for burning an existing river network. If you don't want it skip to Extract streams at the end of the video.

@ralphroulette5448 3 года назад

Thank you for your tutorials, they have been a great help in my work! I was wondering if there any considerations that need to be taken when working around water bodies (ie lakes?)

@HansvanderKwast 3 года назад

(sub)catchments normally have their outlet in water bodies such as lakes. So then you delineate it until the river enters the lake. When you want the larger catchment where the lake is part off, the fill sinks algorithm will fill up the lake in order to have the water flowing to the outlet downstream of the lake. If you want to preserve the lake you need control the fill sinks algorithm that it doesn't fill up completely the lake. You can do this with lddcreate from PCRaster for example (see ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--gmOb27_2O4.html) or burn in the lake after filling the sinks so the real depressions are back in the DEM. So it depends on the purpose and context of the delineation.

Hi Ralph. I have faced with the same problem of delineating a lake watershed. Can't find any instructional video on YT. How could you solve it?

@miraclebuoy Год назад

@@HansvanderKwast On PCRaster, the video example you suggested above (lddcreate) all required data are filled by default other than the DEM_filled layer. Where can I provide the lake.shp file to burn it? Also burning my lake using r.carve, the tool requires stream.shp with its width and depth, not lake data. Please help. Thanks.

@annas7000 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for this helpful video sir. I am now trying out the steps. However, when I delineate the watershed it is not showing at all. What am I doing wrong?

@HansvanderKwast 11 месяцев назад

Can have many reasons. The most common is that the outlet point is not chosen in the delineated stream or the coordinate doesn't correspond with the filled DEM.

@annas7000 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much sir, I have successfully delineated the watershed.

Hmm, indeed interesting that it lowered some places so much. Not sure if it's estimated stats here.

@CarbonTaxLOL 3 года назад

How do I find the area in m^2 of the polygon (catchment).

@HansvanderKwast 3 года назад

You can calculate areas of polygons with the $area function in the field calculator. See ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ujm4Cxb36PI.html

Seems problem with writing the file. Try to not use Desktop but save to a specific local folder with short folder names without spaces and strange characters. If that's not the solution, try alternative methods for burning that I mention in other videos.
