Stream burning will lower the pixel elevation of all pixels underlying an imported stream line by the increment set in the Project Options form (CatchmentSIM Drop Down >> Project Options |General) as outlined in the algorithm section. Stream burning (assuming sufficient depth) will force derived flow paths to follow the imported stream network.
Once this menu option is selected a dialog box will appear asking the user to specify the burn depth that is to applied. A value of 0.5 metres is specified by default and generally yields acceptable results in most circumstances.
| Note: | If stream burning is carried out after flow processing, then flow processing should be re-run (Subcatchments >> Map All) prior to using automated subcatchment breakup algorithms (Subcatchments >> Breakup Subcatchment). |
