TauDEM provides the +following capability: + +* Development of hydrologically correct (pit removed) DEMs using the flooding + approach +* Calculates flow paths (directions) and slopes +* Calculates contributing area using single and multiple flow direction methods +* Multiple methods for the delineation of stream networks including topographic + form-based methods sensitive to spatially variable drainage density +* Objective methods for determination of the channel network delineation + threshold based on stream drops +* Delineation of watersheds and subwatersheds draining to each stream segment + and association between watershed and segment attributes for setting up + hydrologic models +* Specialized functions for terrain analysis + +Note TauDEM also works fine with MPICH, so if you have it installed it is not +necessary to install OpenMPI. |
