The <em>r.fill.dir</em> module can be used not only to fill depression,
|
|
|
but also to detect water bodies or potential water bodies based on
|
|
|
the nature of the terrain and the digital elevation model used.

Not all depressions are errors in digital elevation models. In fact,
|
|
|
many are wetlands and as Jenkins and McCauley (2006) note careless use
|
|
|
of depression filling may lead to unintended consequences such
|
|
|
as loss of wetlands.

+Although many hydrological algorithms require depression filling,
|

+advanced algorithms such as those implemented in

|
|
+<em><a href="r.watershed.html">r.watershed</a></em> and
|
|
|
+<em><a href="r.sim.water.html">r.sim.water</a></em> do not require
|

+depressionless digital elevation model to work.
