[GRASS-user] Global Hydrological modeling with r.watershed, r.stream.extract, r.stream.extract

[Giuseppe Amatulli]

Dear all,
after several tests and a bit of inverse-engineering, Longzhu and I have
understood the reason of such as a small difference in the delineation of
the polygons basins.

All the process beyond r.watershed are computed in 3x3 moving window (e.g.
slope, flow accumulation, etc.), therefore if we change the extent of study
area we change the starting point of the mowing window and of course the
values of the flow accumulation change a bit. These changes in the flow
accumulation cause variation on the delineations of the basin borders, of
adjacent tiles.

The reason, it is a bit obvious but did not come into my mind, immediately.

Now I'm trying to figure out a clever way to merge these flow accumulations
that come from different tiles and that are slightly different.

Ciao
Giuseppe
