In the terrestrial surface where the fluvial process is the most important external force, the water flows from high position to low make concave and convex on the surface, which form clear watershed and channel, thereby constituting different grade basin system, so altitude, slope, aspect are important terrain factors that affect the development of basin system. Based on the data collection of 1 10000 Digital Elevation Model (DEM), Huangshui River Basin is taken as the study area and a use is made of GIS technology and the image process system methods to distill Huangshui River Basinƍs physiognomy morphological character elements such as elevation, slope and aspect. As a result, the integrated understanding on Huangshui River Basinƍs physiognomy morphological character of location and quantity is obtained. Moreover, relationship between basin area and basin grade is obtained by using tools for hydrological analysis. It provides a new spatial information foundation platform for studying water resources, water environment, agricultural programs, soil erosion, geological disasters and so on in this research area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
