Basin can be terminated according user's input. For now input must be in raster format (vector format is planned in the feature). What is important input can be anything: lines, polygons or points. But it shall overlaping with streams. It is very useful in situation, when we cannot determine the real route and identifier of streams but we can determine its most probable route (for example in hydrological simulation) we can mark with any area in place where link is most probable

Overview

Modules r.stream.order, r.stream.basins, r.stream.distance, and r.stream.stats are prepared to perform Hortonian analysis in GRASS GIS. Modules can work with outputs data of r.watershed and r.stream.extract being prepared by Markus Metz.

The tutorial/presentation was prepared with North Carolina Dataset.

http://grass.osgeo.org/download/sample-data/

As a base map 'elev_ned_30_m' was used. Regions settings for analysis:

Digital elevation model with streams

Because r.stream.extract is still in progress (still valid? 4/2011) analysis will be based on r.watershed results. Stream network has been obtained with r.watershed in MFD mode: 

r.watershed -f elevation=elev threshold=700 accumulation=accum drainage=dirs stream=streams convergence=5

Be sure you set the region for analysis before run it. 

g.region rast=elev_ned_30_m

For future analysis following map produced by r.watershed are required: streams with streams network, dirs with flow direction and accum with flow accumulation.

r.stream.order

Module r.stream.order may order stream network according four most popular ordering systems. Module can create both all four at once or every order separate. The accumulation mas is an option necessary if you want to determine main channels in Horton and Hack Ordering based on accumulation instead of channel length

  • Shreve Stream Magnitude

  • Main (Hack) Stream Order

    Main (Hack) Stream Order

To obtain Scheidegger's stream order is just enough multiply Shreve stream magnitude x2.

r.stream.basins

Module r.stream.basins is prepared to delineate basins and subbasins according user rules. It covers (in very small part) functionality of r.water.outlet and r.watershed but additionally it has much more possibilities which are presented in this section of tutorial. Module is prepared to delineate number of basins in one step. It requires only two maps direction and streams. In stream map we can store all information required to proper delineation.

To delineate all basins with categories of streams simply use: 

r.stream.basins dir=dirs stream=streams basins=bas_basins_elem
Elementary basins

To delineate all basins defined by outlets, ignoring subbasins use similar code but with -l flag. That flag ignores all nodes and uses only real outlets (in most cases that on image border). That option is very useful to determine major and minor basins in area. 

r.stream.basins -l dir=dirs stream=streams basins=bas_basins_last
Main basins

To delineate only one or more particular basin it require to reclass stream basin to the planned set. The fastest method is r.reclass but also r.mapcalc may replace r.reclass. The output is the last (downstream) cell of given stream: 

echo '42=42
* = NULL' > tmp1

r.reclass input=streams output=sel_streams_1 rules=tmp1
r.stream.basins dir=dirs stream=sel_streams_1 basins=bas_basin_1
One basin

It is also possible to use more than one stream as an output. If some stream will be tributary of others it will produce subbasins in main basins. It can be eliminated with -l flag only if streams are in sequence. 

echo '42 = 42
252 = 252
188 = 188
* = NULL' >tmp3

r.reclass input=streams output=sel_streams_3 rules=tmp3
r.stream.basins dir=dirs stream=sel_streams_3 basins=bas_basin_3
Three basins

Basin delineated in previous step can be used to cut off streams of that basin. In next step these streams can be used to delineate subbasins of given basin: 

r.mapcalc "sel_all_streams_42 = if(bas_basin_1,streams,null())"
r.stream.basins dir=dirs stream=sel_all_streams_42 basins=bas_elem_42
main basin and subbasins with streams


To delineate basins of particular order we must use the following procedure: 

echo '2 = 2
* = NULL' > tmp2

r.reclass input=ord_strahler output=sel_strahler_2 rules=tmp2
r.stream.basins -c dir=dirs stream=sel_strahler_2 basins=bas_basin_strahler_2

The flag -c must be used because all streams has category 2 (result of reclass operation). If we need basins with category of streams we must use little different approach. First with mapcalc procedure extract that streams with order 2, next use -l flag to create basins with category of last (downstream) segments 

r.mapcalc "sel_strahler_cat_2 = if(ord_strahler==2,streams,null())"
r.stream.basins -l dir=dirs stream=sel_strahler_cat_2 basins=bas_basin_strahler_2
Basin of order 2 with unique categories


To determine areas of contribution to streams of particular order we need only use as streams the result of ordering. 

r.stream.basins dir=dirs stream=ord_strahler basins=bas_basin_strahler
Areas of contribution to stream of particular order

Basin can be terminated according user's input. For now input must be in raster format (vector format is planned in the feature). What is important input can be anything: lines, polygons or points. But it shall overlapping with streams. It is very useful in situation, when we cannot determine the real route and identifier of streams but we can determine its most probable route (for example in hydrological simulation) we can mark with any area in place where link is most probable.

Basin outlets of custom shape

The last example is a little beat complex but also easy to calculate. One of the most popular hydrological modeling is determination of areas of potential source of pollution. The example will be done for lake marked with FULL_HYDR 8056 in North Carolina sample dataset. The lake was extracted and converted to binary raster map. Next we can determine all basins contributing to the lake, additionally with areas of lake where every basin contributes. 

v.extract -d input=lakes@PERMANENT output=lake8056 type=area layer=1 'where=FULL_HYDRO = 8056' new=-1 
v.to.rast input=lake8056@horton output=lake8056 use=val type=area layer=1 value=1

r.stream.distance

Module r.stream.distance has been prepared to calculate distance to streams and outlets and elevation above streams and outlets. In outlets mode it can also calculate parameters for subbasins. The distance are calculated metres. It support both projected and LL locations. The distance is calculated for flat maps. To add topography correction use mapcalc formula 

echo' dist_corrected = sqrt(distance^2 + elevation ^2)'|r.mapcalc

r.stream.distance dir=dirs stream=streams dem=elev distance=distance_stream elevation=elevation_stream

r.stream.extract

Module r.stream.extract extracts streams in both raster and vector format from a required input elevation map and optional input accumulation map.

r.stream.stats

Module r.stream.stats was prepared to calculate statistics according ordered stream network map. These statistics are calculated according formulas given by R.Horton (1945). Because Horton do not defined precisely what is stream slope, I proposed 2 different approaches: first (slope) use cell-by-cell slope calculation, second (gradient) use difference between elevation of outlet and source of every channel to its length to calculate formula. Bifurcation ratio for every order is calculated according formula: n_streams[1]/n_stream[i+1] where i the current order and i+1 next higher order. For max order of the map number of streams is zero. Rest of the ratios are calculated in similar mode. The bifurcation and other ratios for the whole catchment (map) is calculated as mean i.e sum of all bifurcation ratio / max_order-1 (for max_order stream bifurcation ratio = 0). It is strongly recommended to extract stream network using basin map created with r.stream.basin. If whole stream order map is used the calculation will be performed but results may not have hydrological sense.
