The processes of working with digital elevation models (DEMs) and watershed delineation are in constant change over time. Even though the elevation datasets date from 10 years ago; the web servers and tools for data processing have changed in recent years. With online tools such as Hatari Utils, the watershed delineation can be performed in a few steps with practical outputs as vector files and watershed statistics.
This webinar covers the whole process of defining an area of interest in QGIS, export it to NASA Earthdata Search, review the elevation datasets available, download multiple elevation rasters, join rasters and clip to the area of interest and delineate the watershed online.
Intructor
Saul Montoya M.Sc
Hydrogeologist - Numerical Modeler
Mr. Montoya is a Civil Engineer graduated from the Catholic University in Lima with postgraduate studies in Management and Engineering of Water Resources (WAREM Program) from Stuttgart University – Germany with mention in Groundwater Engineering and Hydroinformatics. Mr Montoya has a strong analytical capacity for the interpretation, conceptualization and modeling of the surface and underground water cycle and their interaction. He is in charge of numerical modeling for contaminant transport and remediation systems of contaminated sites. Inside his hydrological and hydrogeological investigations Mr. Montoya has developed an holistic comprehension of the water cycle, understanding and quantifying the main hydrological dynamic process of precipitation, runoff, evaporation and recharge to the groundwater system.
