Tools for Stream and Catchment Delineation with QGIS

Tools for Stream and Catchment Delineation with QGIS

Looking at the Stonehenge area with 
Multi-scale 'percent elevation range'.
Computed PER at 51, 17 and 7px radius, combined into R,G,B bands
Then applied a contrast stretch
Helps to highlight barrows and what I suspect are old field patterns?
Trying to take a look at ways to measure contrast and accessibility of maps.
Here, looking at OpenStreetMap tiles, and contrast
Used QGIS raster calculator to convert to greyscale (by luminance), then applied the whiteboxtools 'range filter' with a 3x3 kernel
Colourised with Rocket colour scale. Yellow and white show the highest contrast, black is areas of solid colour.

The slope lines were done using a flow accumulation raster (log scale) using #WhiteBoxTools, draped over mesh and with a threshold filter applied.
Hydrological analysis is a common task in environmental and geospatial applications. However, many users of QGIS encounter challenges when they want to perform stream and catchment delineation or morphometric analysis of streams and catchments using various processing provider plugins. These plugins, such as PCRaster, SAGA, GRASS and WhiteboxTools, offer different algorithms and methods for hydrological analysis, but they also require different installation procedures and have different limitations and assumptions. In this presentation, we will review the main features and drawbacks of these plugins, and provide practical tips and examples on how to use them effectively in QGIS. We will also compare the results of different algorithms and discuss the implications for hydrological analysis workflows. By the end of this presentation, you will have a better understanding of the available tools and techniques for stream and catchment delineation in QGIS, and how to choose the most suitable ones for your projects.
