limitations of r.stream.order

[Carlos Henrique Grohmann de Carvalho-2]

Hi there.

Is there any limitation on the size of rasters that r.stream.order can handle? I'm trying to run it for a large area (rows: 8640, cols: 6480) and it gives me several of these warnings:

WARNING: Stream network may be too dense...

and it doesn't produce the desired output.

I forgot to mention some important info, sorry.

I'm running this on Mac OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion), GRASS 6.4 from William Kyngesburye.

Carlos,

   Try adjusting the threshold in r.watershed that you use to create the
accumunlation map. All the r.basin.* series are sensitive to threshold size,
so everywhere you specify a threshold value try increasing it -- greatly --
until you get a number that works for your needs.

Well, working with subsets of the area worked, It was indeed a RAM limitation.

I need a detail a bit more compatible with topo maps at 1:1.000.000 scale,
which I can get if I use a threshold of 25-50 cells. But then, of course,
I have a more dense drainage network, and it seems that r.stream.order is
having problems dealing with such dense networks.

Carlos,

  Well, if your workstation has sufficient memory for all the calculations
then I've no idea what to suggest. The largest area with which I've worked
is 125 square miles (however many square kilometers that is) and I can
delineate too many drainage basins with 4G RAM.

  Perhaps working in smaller chunks of area and recombining results will do the
job. Otherwise, others with more expertise will need to offer suggestions.

Regards,

Rich
