[GRASS-user] Elevation above a river

[Shane Carey]

Hi,

I'm not sure I made myself clear. I have a "real" river vector dataset of
an area.
It includes artificial channels also.

This dataset was digitised manually and does not match the extracted river
dataset  from DTM algorithms in grass (r.stream.extraxt)

I need to use the real river vector dataset - hence maybe alter the DTM so
that it picks up these "real" rivers (perhaps by using r.carve?) as opposed
to what would be created by r.stream.extract.

And then when that step is complete, obtain elevation height above the
river.

Hope this makes sense and I am clear in my explanation.

Many thanks all.
