Re: r.watershed

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your reply! Sounds great.
How did you add culverts or other artificial flow control features to
achieve water flowing through roads?

I have a rivers layer and I compared it the streams I've obtained from
r.watershed and r.watershed appears to not match these streams (which were
accurately digitised) and I was wondering if I had a better resolution DTM
would it solve this problem?

Also, why is sink filling needed for terraflow and not watershed?

Thanks for your help :-)
