9. 6. WatershedDelineation
What is a Watershed?
Watershed is a topographically delineated area drained through a common
confluence point on a stream or river,
An area that drains rainfall runoff water to a common outlet,
Drainage system - The area upon which water fall & the network through which it
travels to an outlet.
Pour Point - A location at which the rainfall runoff contributing area can be
determined.
6.1 Watershed Delineation Methods
Different methods have been devised and are used to delineate watersheds. The following are
some of the common watershed delineation methods: In this training we will see two of them in
detail (watershed Delineation using GPS and topographic map).
1. Watershed delineation using Topographic map (contour, Drainage
Patterns),
2. Watershed delineation using hand held GPS (Tracks,points),
3. Automatic watershed delineation from DEM.
6.1.1 Watershed delineationfrom Topographic map
Topographic map can be used as a data source to delineate a watershed. In this method contour
lines and drainage patterns/networks serve as starting points in delineating a watershed using QGIS
software. It is the easiest method of watershed delineation as compared with field delineation using
GPS. Before starting delineation watershed from topomaps, you should create new polygon shape
file in.
10. 6.1.2 Watershed delineationusing GPS points
This is another alternative to delineate a watershed. This method is accurate but it is very difficult
to do it and time taking. Mostly we can apply for verification /checking/ purpose and to delineate
small size community watersheds. To apply this method;
1. GPS points should be collected on the field using hand held GPS,
2. The collected GPS points can be directly transferred into computers using GPS
cables and software,
3. Add the transferred data to QGIS and edit errors, if any.
6.1.3 Delineating Watershed by using DEM
DEM is a main source of GIS data for watershed delineation. In QGIS some steps should follows
to delineate watershed, and these are described below.
1. Fill sinks
1. Add DEM data on qgis
2. Search fill on search box
3. Select fill sink in the
terrain analysis-hydrology.
4. On the new dialog box
select DEM file
5. Save fill DEM file and
leave the rest
6. Click run.
11. 2. Creating stream order
1. Search strahler from search box
2. Click on strahler order from
terrain analysis channel.
3. Select fill DEM in the elevation
box
4. Save the strahler file
5. Click run
3. Remove unnecessary small river braches
1. click on raster on menu
bar
2. click on raster calculator
3. double click on straler
order file
4. select straler order greater
than 5
5. click ok
12. 4. Create outlet file
Outlets are the point on river junctions where the water passes from the common confluence, it is
one of the determinant factors for watershed delineation and it affects the size of the watershed.
1. Click on layer
2. Click on create layer
3. Click on New shepfile
4. Write name and select geometry type point.
5. If you want add two field X and Y and calculate
values
5. Watershed delineation
1. search upslope from search box
2. Click upslope area from terrain
analysis
3. Copy and paste X-coordinate
and Y-coordinate on Target X
coordinate and Target Y coordinate.
4. Select Fill DEM on Elevation
box.
5. Select deterministic 8 from
Method box
6. Save watershed file
7. Click on Run
8. One watershed will be
delineated in raster format
6. Conversion
1. Click on Raster on menu bar
2. Click on conversion
3. Click on Polygonize ( Raster to
Polygon)
4. Remove the unwanted part by
selecting.
13. 7. Channel network and drainage basin. /to create
vector river channels/
1. Search channel on search box
2. Click on channel network and drainage
basin
3. Select Fill DEM for Elevation box
4. Write 5 on threshold box
5. Remove the tick mark except channels and
drainage basin
6. Save the channels and drainage basin files
7. Click Run
8. Clip the river channel
1. Search Clip from search box
2. Click on Clip under vector overlay
3. Select channels in input layer box
4. Select your watershed in overlay layer box
5. Save Clipped file
6. Click on Run
The final result looks like the below figure
14. If you want to delineate more than one watershed /the entire woreda/,collect from field or create outlet
point by the same stapes on the above. And install new plugin called point to catchment zip file.
1. Snap the outlet to the channels
1. Search snap on search box
2. Click on snap geometry to layer
3. Select outlet on input layer box
