[GRASS-user] r.flow: define contributing area

2016-10-03 Thread Rich Shepard
Reading the r.flow manual page suggests that the use of the '-u' (upstream) option allows determination of flowlines and lengths that can be used to delineate the area that would drain to a specific point. Is this correct? To determine the area flooded if an outlet is plugged would require th
