Dear Members,

We are sharing the case study by Chinmay Shaligram titled “Comparison of Watershed Delineation Using SRTM and CartoDEM in QSWAT+: A Case Study of the Mula River Basin”.

Using QGIS and the QSWAT+ plugin, this study documents a comparative geospatial workflow for watershed delineation in the Mula River Basin, Pune District, Maharashtra.

The workflow evaluates stream generation and sub-basin delineation using SRTM (~30 m, 2003) and CartoDEM (10 m, 2018), highlighting how DEM resolution and acquisition year influence hydrological modelling outputs, particularly in urban areas.

You can access the complete case study here:

We look forward to your thoughts. You may connect with the author or share your reflections here in the group. If you would like to present a case study, write to us at qgis-...@googlegroups.com.


Regards,

Amey Bagul
