Improved Priority‐Flood method for depression filling by redundant calculation optimization in local micro‐relief areas

Abstract: Depression filling is a critical step in distributed hydrological modeling using digital elevation models (DEMs). The traditional Priority‐Flood (PF) approach is widely used due to its relatively high efficiency when dealing with a small‐sized DEM. However, it seems inadequate and inefficient when dealing with large high‐resolution DEMs. In this work, we examined the relationship between the PF algorithm calculation process and the topographical characteristics of depressions, and found significant redundant c… Show more

“…The data preprocessing work mainly includes the establishment of digital elevation model, filling of digital elevation model, hydrological space analysis, and division of drainage area. The digital elevation model (DEM) is built using the discrete elevation points of the airport construction area, and the improved PF algorithm [19] is used to level the depression in the Surface runoff always flows from high to low ground and finally flows to a water outlet. Therefore, to scientifically and accurately identify the watershed boundary, the flow direction of water flow in each grid unit must be determined first.…”

“…The D‐infinity algorithm, as a widely used traditional flow direction algorithm, uses the maximum downslope of a 3 × 3 window as the flow direction value; however, this algorithm performed poorly in flat areas (Tarboton, 1997). Flat areas, as a unique object in digital elevation models (DEMs), make flow direction calculation more challenging (Xiong et al., 2019, 2023; H. Zhang et al., 2017). Moreover, flat areas in DEMs can be divided into two types: flat areas representing geographical objects (e.g., lakes) and flat areas caused by data production errors.…”

“…Accordingly, the simulation and analysis of water flow processes have received widespread attention in terms of theoretical research and practical applications [4][5][6][7]. The automatic extraction of the flow direction from the digital elevation model (DEM) is one of the most critical methods for simulating water flow, which relies heavily on flow direction algorithms [8][9][10]. Flow direction algorithms define the direction of runoff and the flow distribution at each point on the ground, which directly determine the path of the sediment transport process and the amount of material transferred [11].…”
