Substantial advances in Geographic Information Software (GIS) capabilities and improved access to detailed digital elevation models (DEM) produced from LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) has improved the quality of waterway mapping which also allows for detailed analysis of waterways over large areas. Studies of waterways over large areas are usually determined from large grid size (20-30 m) DEMs. In this work, a detailed waterway network was created over a 1096 km² area using a 10m DEM.
