This study by Jonathan Muckell and Christopher Stuetzle, under the guidance of advisors Marcus Andrade, Randolph Franklin, and Barb Cutler from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, focuses on measuring hydrology errors in simplified terrain models. Findings indicate that error diminishes when water flows downhill but increases for uphill movement. The degree of error is influenced by the gradient of the terrain and the volume of flow. Understanding these dynamics is critical for effective hydrological modeling and terrain representation.

Measuring Hydrology Error • Error is reduced for flow traveling downhill, increased for flow traveling uphill. • Error is determined by gradient and amount of flow
