Partition Hillslopes

Description

Separate subwatersheds into headwater and lateral hillslopes.

Usage

Separate subwatersheds into headwater and lateral hillslopes. Headwater hillslopes drain to stream inlets and lateral hillslopes are created by bisecting the relevant catchment area by the drainage line. Hillslope parts that are the size the user defined area threshold or smaller are deleted from the final output.

Parameters

Parameter NameTypeDirectionData TypeDialog Reference
Input CatchmentsRequiredInputFeature LayerInput catchment feature layer following the Arc Hydro data model.
Input Flow Direction RasterRequiredInputRaster LayerInput flow direction raster following the Arc Hydro data model.
Input Flow Accumulation RasterRequiredInputRaster LayerInput flow accumulation raster following the Arc Hydro data model.
Input Drainage LinesRequiredInputFeature LayerInput drainage lines following the Arc Hydro data model.
Input ThresholdRequiredInputDoubleNumber of cells used as the flow accumulation threshold when creating the drainage lines. This number is used to identify stream inlets. See the user messages for the flow accumulation threshold used in terrain preprocessing steps.
Input Area ThresholdRequiredInputDoubleMinimum hillslope area.
Output HillslopesRequiredOutputFeature LayerOutput hillslope feature class. Any hillslope parts are the size of one cell or smaller are deleted.
