Abstract
There are many tools for terrain analysis, whether for introducing the geomorphologic aspects of different surfaces or for identifying the water flow mechanism along these surfaces. Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) have recently emerged to be a useful tool in this respect. In the present study, DEMs supported data obtained from space observations and proved to be an integral element in flood analysis.
