[GRASS-user] floodplain creation

[Vaclav Petras]

Based on what we have discussed (including some off-list), the best shot
seems to be using directions based on r.watershed on the carved DEM
together with the given (not computed) streams for HAND (streams are also
used for the carving and r.lake steps).

An alternative is using streams from r.watershed, but only those which fall
into a buffer around the given streams (for more context, see some of my
previous emails when I already mentioned this).

Getting the directions for a stream, as I suggested, is of course useless
except for using it for updating the direction raster which may or may not
bring a minor improvement (probably not worth complicating the workflow).

and I do see differences in the value obtained by both. Could it be a
rounding issue perhaps? The only other difference I see is that the output
from r.watershed is a complete raster as opposed to just the river network.
See image attached to explain what I mean. Does that make any difference?
