Isobasins

This tool divides a landscape into nearly equal-sized watersheds, called isobasins, using a digital elevation model (DEM). The user must specify the DEM, the output raster, and the target isobasin size in grid cells.

Input parameters

  • Input raster DEM file – The digital elevation model used to divide the landscape into isobasins.

Output parameters

  • Output raster file – Enter the name for the new file.
  • Target basin size, in grid cells – Defines the approximate area of each isobasin to be generated from the DEM.
  • Output upstream-downstream flow connections among basins? – Outputs a CSV table that records the upstream and downstream flow connections between isobasins.
