Watershed Module

Our watershed algorithm is used for identifying the watershed areas for predefined waterways. More generally, one is interested into which waterway a set of rain drops will end up based on the terrain elevation and the starting location of the drops.
Since we support the calculation of rainfall using our water module and can generate water flow direction results, we have altered the watershed algorithm to use the flow direction instead of the terrain elevation as input. Given that the rainfall used is adequately large, it helps us reducing the amount of local minima and hopefully generate more realistic results based on rainfall simulation.
