Hydrologically Conditioned Digital Elevation Model of the Difficult Run watershed in Fairfax County, Virginia Derived from 2012 lidar LAS Points
Hydrologically conditioned digital elevation model (DEM) generated from lidar data clipped to the Difficult Run watershed with a 500-m buffer in ArcGIS 10.3.1 (ESRI, Redlands, CA). The DEM was hydrologically corrected by breaching through pits with no downslope neighboring cells to force surface flow to continuously move downslope using Whitebox Geospatial Analysis Tools (Lindsay and Dhun 2015, Lindsay 2016). Pits that were not properly breached were manually adjusted using elevation information from the DEM and aerial imagery to locate culverts under roadways.
