Abstract

The authors suggest the method for digital elevation models (DEMs) compiling aimed to plotting the boundaries of the drainage catchments for the lowland relief (West Siberia as an example). The proposed method allows taking into account the local contemporary depressions – traps of the suspended sediment yield and surface runoff. In the result the higher precision of the basins boundaries pattern is obtained. In this method additional information from the topographic maps is used. The DEM compiled with the use of the suggested method helps to significantly increase the accuracy of the West Siberian catchments’ automatic plotting.

Keywords
