Digital elevation model (DEM) resolution and accuracy are critical to any geographic information system (GIS) terrain and hydrological modeling application. Changes in DEM resolution will impact modeled elevation, slope and curvature spatial location, fractal properties, statistical parameters and accuracy in modeling real-world terrain conditions. As hydrological modeling relies on statistical and spatial terrain parameters as inputs, changes in DEM resolution will also, in turn, impact stream delineation and stream spatial location, fractal properties, statistical parameters, and accuracy in modeling real-world stream conditions. These impacts may manifest differently in flat or mountainous terrains and certain DEM resolutions will model real-world conditions …
