[GRASS-user] WPS with GRASS and PyWPS

[Saber Razmjooei]

Dear Valentin

Thanks for your through inspection. That part of UK is flat with lots of
artificial drains and canals. There is a loop river and also 2 parallel
channel. The DTM doesn't look great either and I think streams have not
been extracted properly in r.watershed.

Cheers
Saber
