SUB-WATERSHED EXTRACTIONS

The map below displays the Congo-Zaire's sub-watersheds thresholded from the flow accumulation grid at 10,000. A technique for automatic delineation of sub-watersheds was developed by Jenson and Domingue (1988) that employs the methods of thresholding flow accumulations at specific intersections to determine pour points to break out watersheds units. Such an application can be beneficial for projects needing better and more concise boundary information for a particular region. Congo-Zaire Subwatersheds Image
