Show watershed

‘Show watersheds’ identifies the areas of the surface that will flow together to the same exit point on a field. The working area will display the surface in a patchwork of colors, these indicate your watersheds and what will flow out where, the specific colors do not matter, they are only to help identify individual watersheds.

  • ‘Elevation smoothing’ provides control to adjust the level of detail on the surface
  • ‘Segmentation method’ will select a general water event to display watersheds. The options are: 
    • Hybrid - Immersion and Rainfall event happening simultaneously
    • Immersion - submersion of the surface by water as it engulfs the area as in a flooding event
    • Rainfall- a fall or shower of rain
  • ‘Output watersheds layer’ will create a new design layer when the tool is closed.
