Filling in the Pits • DEM creation results in artificial pits in the landscape • A pit is a set of one or more cells which has no downstream cells around it • Unless these pits are filled they become sinks and isolate portions of the watershed • Pit filling is first thing done with a DEM
“Burning In” the Streams - Improve accuracy based on photograph Take a mapped stream network and a DEM Make a grid of the streams Raise the off-stream DEM cells by an arbitrary elevation increment Produces "burned in" DEM streams = mapped streams = +
