Flow Direction Algorithms

Flow Direction Algorithms is a computational method in hydrological modeling that determines the direction of water flow across a digital elevation model by analyzing local topographic gradients, distinguishing it from other terrain analysis methods through its specific role in encoding flow pathways for watershed delineation.
