[GRASS-user] flow accumulation

[Michael Barton]

The main accumulation output maps of both r.terraflow and r.watershed are accumulation maps. The value of each cell in these maps is the number of upslope cells contributing runoff to that cell. 

Unless you check a flag to turn it off, the values for r.watershed are negative if the contributing basin extends beyond the map or region.
