KEYWORDS

raster

SYNOPSIS

r.basin.py
r.basin.py help
r.basin.py [-ac] map=name prefix=output prefix easting=easting northing=northing [threshold=threshold] [--verbose] [--quiet]

Flags:

-a
Use default threshold (1km^2)
-c
No maps output
--verbose
Verbose module output
--quiet
Quiet module output

Parameters:

map=name
Name of elevation raster map
prefix=output prefix
output prefix (must start with a letter)
easting=easting
east coordinate of outlet point (must belong to river network)
northing=northing
north coordinate of outlet point (must belong to river network)
threshold=threshold
threshold

DESCRIPTION

r.basin generates the main morphometric parameters of the basin starting from the digital elevation model and the coordinates of the basin's closing section.

Important:

The closing section's coordinates must belong to the river network generated by r.stream.extract. It is suggested to run it beforehand.

Morphometric parameters of basin

The main parameters are:
