you already have, because it can happen that those exactly match the
extracted river network, even if it is unlikely. By the way, i've never
tested the script using lat/lon coordinates, but i suppose that you can get
some of the parameters in a unit derived from degrees, which is not
correct, so you need to use metric coordinates in order to get a suitable
result. BTW, if you are willing to make a test on it and send (maybe
privately) to me the results, I'll appreciate. Thus I'll update the
documentation accordingly.

Thanks and regards.
