[Qgis-user] DTM/DEM - upstream delineation

Hi All

 

Just a question to see how others are achieving this.  I often get asked to
measure the area of a catchment, upstream of a particular point.  With a
DTM/DEM I would have thought that there should be a simple tool to do this -
click a point, and then shade or draw me a polygon of everything upstream of
that point.  Sounds easy, but achieving this isn't so simple, or maybe I am
missing an easy-to-use tool or plug-in?

 

Thoughts?

 

Cheers

Tony
