Johannes,

Yes, this does help. The river network is very large and complex and adding
points at each confluence would take a very long time. After stepping back
and thinking how the outputs from the v.stream.* modules would be received
by the intended audience I realize that this detail is meaningless to
non-technical decision-makers.

Thanks very much,

Rich

Micha,

That's what the manual pages suggest.


Maybe yes, but if this refers to the project that you've posted about
recently, then you have a high resolution LIDAR-based DEM of the basin.
These v.stream.* modules are intended to work with vector outputs from the
r.stream.* modules.


I thought so.


If you are going to ignore that and use a vector stream network from some
other source, then be aware:

1- This alternate stream network must be topologically correct

2- Stream vector segments should all be in downstream direction (the
outlet reach *must* be directed downstream).

3- You might not be able to make use of the DEM for other analyses, since
it won't match the stream network.


This answers all my questions. I've no idea how the vector river network
data were created. I've also decided that for the intended audience the
results of the v.stream.* are overkill.

Thanks very much,

Rich

Hi Rich,

v.stream.order is the vector lines representing the streams (lines must
