FindDownstreamBasins: Find Downstream Basins

Description Usage Arguments Value

Description

Uses the HydroBasins "NEXT_DOWN" field to identify all downstream polygons from a target polygon. It is possible to stop downstream navigation at endorheic sinks (terminal polygons within inland basins), or to continue through 'virtual' connections (see HydroBASINS technical documentation for more details).

Usage

1
FindDownstreamBasins(HYBAS, HYBAS.ID, n_iter = -1, ignore.endo = T)

Arguments

HYBAS

a HYBAS spatial polygon object or dataframe from such an object

HYBAS.ID

character vector of one or more HydroBASINS ID's

n_iter

integer, how many iterations to perform. To remove limit, set to -1 (default)

ignore.endo

logical, whether or not to include 'virtual' connections from endorheic sinks (see HydroBASINS technical documentation for more details)

Value

a character vector of HydroBASIN ID's corresponding to downstream basins
