How can I avoid the problem of strings of single cells when creating basins with r.watershed? I think this is referred to as "ladders". Here's [1] an image showing what I mean.

In my example, the purple colored catchment has two "tails" of width 1 cell. One tail separates between the light green and the pale blue catchments. The other (northern) tail splits the dark green catchment into two.

After running r.to.vect to get the catchment vectors, I'm left with the two "strings" or "ladders" of tiny vector areas. The southern string can be removed with v.clean tool=rmarea with no ill effects.

However when I remove those small areas in the northern "ladder" I'm left with the stream running *along the drainage divide* or even zigzagging across the divide, neither of which is correct.

Can this problem be avoided? I've tried with a couple of different dem sources, and at different resolutions and threshold values, but these ladder phenomena always seem to appear.

This example was done with the ASTER DEM data, using a threshold of 11000 and resolution like the original data (1 arcsec ~= 30 m.)


Thanks,

Micha
