Fig. 8From: Evaluation of different digital elevation models for analyzing drainage morphometric parameters in a mountainous terrain: a case study of the Supin–Upper Tons Basin, Indian HimalayasSurveyed stream networks from the USAMS topographical sheet (a) and DEM derived (obtained from surface modeling of digitized contour lines and spot heights of the USAMS topographical sheet) drainage networks (b). The first diagram (a) identifies the study area as a 4th order basin, whereas the other diagram (b) depicts it to be a 6th order basin. The masking technique has not been employed due to the non-appearance of ice cover within the map itselfBack to article page
