Hello,
and thanks for your fast replies,
yes, the final result which I'd like to get is a river profile along which the values of the upslope contributing areas can be plotted on a separate y axis. In order to get this I suppose I should be able to "cat river_long_profile_ascii | r.profile a_raster_map_containing_the upslope_areas" which can provide values in square meters or square km or whatever.
Do you know if such a raster map can be obtained from a dem?

It depends on what the OP was looking for - it sounds to me that he is looking for a kind of "dynamic" approach, where one can determine the upslope drainage area for an arbitrary location. Unfortunately, I don't have a solution, but would be quite interested in the answer.

Cheers,

Rainer

    Hello Francesco,

    you could use something like the AddOn r.stream.basin
    (http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/R.stream.*)
    to delineate the basins. Every basin gets a unique number.
    Afterwards you can just query how
    many cells do have a certain number.

    best regards!
