11. Concept Course on Spatial Analyst @ Dr. A.K.M. Saiful Islam 3. Flow accumulation  Flow accumulation simplified: “Accumulate flow for each cell considering ALL uphill cells!”  Used to estimate rainfall volume within a watershed and delineates drainage.  A flow accumulation raster tabulates for each cell the number of cells that will flow to it.  A flow accumulation raster records how many upstream cells will contribute drainage to each cell ( the cell itself is not counted).

15. Concept Course on Spatial Analyst @ Dr. A.K.M. Saiful Islam 4. Identify and removing sink Sink is surrounded by higher cell. It can artificially terminate streams by trapping flow. It is caused by possible error in the elevation data and need to be removed before attempting hydrology analysis. Sink

16. Concept Course on Spatial Analyst @ Dr. A.K.M. Saiful Islam Filling Sinks Filling sinks is an iterative process. Sink cell values are changed to equal neighboring elevation cell values. Lowest value is used. Use Merge to put new sink values in the elevation theme. Test again for more sinks. Fill to lowest Neighboring cell

24. Concept Course on Spatial Analyst @ Dr. A.K.M. Saiful Islam 5. Stream network You can use the flow accumulation grid to identify drainage courses by extracting those cells with the highest accumulated flow values ( cell contains the most water are stream channel). You can create a drainage network of any detail by choosing the appropriate volume values (300 is used for this data). Choice of threshold value can be arbitrary. It should be corresponding to high resolution topographic maps of filed maps.
