Benchmarks

Watershed overlay showing the calculated watersheds for a rural area. Each watershed is colored uniquely.

The watershed module determines which waterways raindrops flow into, based on their starting locations and the terrain elevation. The locations of the drops that all end up in the same waterway can be grouped together to form a region called the watershed.

Watersheds applications

Watersheds can be used for the following:

• For example to show which waterways are the largest and therefore most important in the water system to better manage maintenance and adjustments.
• Resolve disputes regarding the presence or absence of rainfall discharge on specific land parcels..
• Watersheds and their associated waterways can be used in external models to quantify rainfall for large-scale, low-detail systems.
