  1. TauDEM (Terrain Analysis Using Digital Elevation Models) is a suite of
  2. Digital Elevation Model (DEM) tools for the extraction and analysis of
  3. hydrologic information from topography as represented by a DEM. TauDEM
  4. provides the following capability:
  5. * Development of hydrologically correct (pit removed) DEMs using the
  6. flooding approach
  7. * Calculates flow paths (directions) and slopes
  8. * Calculates contributing area using single and multiple flow direction
  9. methods
  10. * Multiple methods for the delineation of stream networks including
  11. topographic form-based methods sensitive to spatially variable
  12. drainage density
  13. * Objective methods for determination of the channel network
  14. delineation threshold based on stream drops
  15. * Delineation of watersheds and subwatersheds draining to each stream
  16. segment and association between watershed and segment attributes for
  17. setting up hydrologic models
  18. * Specialized functions for terrain analysis
  19. Note TauDEM also works fine with MPICH, so if you have it installed it
  20. is not necessary to install OpenMPI.
