Terrain drainage and flow analysis
CloudCanvas v1.1.3 ยท Core and professional modules. Hydrology. Optional module. Requires CloudCanvas Core. See how the shape of the land influences drainage. Explore flow paths, accumulation and wetness patterns to support your site investigations.
Water Flow
Explore where water may travel across your terrain and where flow gathers.
Terrain interpretation
Look at slope, aspect, elevation and wetness patterns together to understand the site.
Surface estimation
Work with water-floor and riverbed estimates as part of your terrain investigation.
Example output
Flow paths over elevation. Flow paths displayed over terrain elevation.
Topographic wetness index
Topographic wetness patterns highlight where moisture may collect in the terrain.
Inputs
Terrain mesh with coordinate reference information; Analysis resolution, extent and flow settings
Outputs
Flow-path and accumulation views; Elevation, slope, aspect and TWI plots; Estimated water-floor or riverbed surfaces
Review notes
Terrain-derived analysis depends on the source surface, resolution, coordinate system and coverage. These outputs are not a hydraulic simulation or flood certification. Estimated submerged surfaces require independent investigation.
