[GRASS-user] Hydrological grass question: main channel length for each subbasin

[Thomas Adams]

Michel,

If you do what you suggest, but first apply a MASK using each subbasin; so,
when you calculate the statistics, they will be for one subbasin at a time;
with a very simple script you could loop through each subbasin.

I hope this helps.

Cheers!
Tom
