Deriving River Network & Catchments from a DEM using QGIS
In this tutorial, you will learn how to derive a river network through the identification of Strahler Order, and how to derive the corresponding catchment (watershed) pertaining to a defined outlet location along the river. The tool which is being used for this delineation of catchment and the derivation of the stream network is the SAGA tool of QGIS.

Excellent tutorial. Explained in a simple manner.
This was so comprehensive and excellent. Preparing my thesis now and the software i tried to use to delineate my catchments wasn't working properly. This saved me. Cheers

Very clear explanation, thank you. If heavy rain falls, can we predict the possible flooded area by this method? I think we should also look at satellite images to detect flooded areas from the past in order to be sure. Do you suggest more?
@geodeltalabs

Hi, a great question! To do a more realistic and an accurate simulation of the flooded area, you will have to use some hydrodynamic simulation tools, particularly for simulating river floods. You can use what we have discussed in this tutorial to, let's say, derive the corresponding catchment which can be used in a hydrological model to simulate the discharge from that catchment under design rainfall conditions (since your interest is in simulating floods). Once you do this, you can use the simulated discharge from the hydrological model as an inflow boundary condition to a hydrodynamic model which can actually simulate the water level of the river along the river stretch which you are interested to see whether it floods or otherwise. If you use a 1D hydrodynamic model like MIKE 11, you will only be able to simulate the water level along the river banks, and by seeing how high the water level rises over the banks, you might be able to get an idea of the stretches of the river which can actually flood under the given inflow boundaries. However, if you want let the flood water move into the flood plain, you will have to use a 2D hydrodynamic model such as MIKE 21 + MIKE 11 or HEC-RAS (recent versions) to see how much of an inundation happens in the adjacent flood plains. And yes, you may use satellite images to sort of validate your hydrodynamic models by checking whether the model is able to simulate the flood extents as closely as possible to the real historical floods :)

Excellent Thx
great tutorial. How to fix th error saying "layers were not generated correctly" in the Fill sink execution? thanks
When I apply the fill_sinks function, nothing changes in my data set. It has the same values as the DEM before. As soon as I apply the Strahler-tool, I get only a diffuse image (with 12 Strahler-classes) and no flow lines even after filtering for exclusively higher Strahler-orders (Strahler-order >=9). What can be the reason for this?
It's AWESOME
Sir, kindly help me in determining the longest stream among the channel network in a catchment area.
how to calculate how many number of 6th order streams are present in basin?
thanks you very mouch
Can we do Stream Ordering here and also a couple of exercises like Drainage Density, Ruggedness Index etc. Thanks
i am getting error in stahler order The following layers were not correctly generated.C:/Users/harshit/Desktop/major project/Final/strah.sdatYou can check the 'Log Messages Panel' in QGIS main window to find more information about the execution of the algorithm.
Sir, After run strahler order it is not showing drainage network .It shows lots of pixels in B&W.. Plz suggest. I followed all steps properly

Hi, yes, it should not be a problem.

Thanks so much but how can I isolate the catchment area
Could you provide a little more detail about the need to warp the projection at the beginning of the project? I tried the same and got crazy output when running the fill (I was using SRTM for Idaho-Wyoming)
Brother can you also do a video on potential zones for Rainwater harvesting or ground water potential zones.
Thank you for the lecture. It was very comprehensive and interesting. I would like to ask how one would go about delineating the catchment area if there are multiple outputs (for example into a lake), eg: Lake Malawi

Thanks for the wonderful video uploaded. Is it possible to derive multiple sub watersheds in qgis? If so please give instructions on the same....
I'm wondering which is the difference between using the reproject feature or simply exporting the layer in a different coordinate system?
@fengfan3996

when you export the layer in a different coordinate system you can't choose the method. with the warp function, you can choose the resampling methods

hi, your explanation was too good, thank you for giving this video. but in current version of qgis there is no option for starhler order option. please tell me how to overcome this issue. thank you.
Can we specify the outlet point from our side if we know its exact coordinates?
Hello When I input data in Upslope area box and run, there is a error showing with missing parameters. So how can I fix this issue. If possible please explain for me. Thanks a lot for your very informative tutorial.
Which version of the software are you using?? Why error in upslope step? Please reply
Hi, thank you again for another great video. I do have a similar problem than with Troy Nguyen but with the next step - the upslope tool. "Error: tool needs graphical user interface [Upslope Area]" (...) The layer were not generated properly. How do we make sure that SAGA 7.8.2 is supported on QGIS please? It looks like that might be the issue. Thank you!

Hi, the DEM used in this tutorial is just a 30 meter SRTM DEM. You can quite easily download them using USGS EarthExplorer. You might as well use an ASTER DEM for this.

Yes, certainly. Once you manage to extract the shapefiles of different catchments, you can use the 'merge vector layers' function to combine them all.
