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?
Possibly r.flow could help here - in the manual:

################
There are three possible output maps which can be produced in any
combination simultaneously: a vector map flout of flowlines, a raster map
lgout of flowpath lengths, and a raster map dsout of flowline densities
(which are equal upslope contributed areas per unit width, when multiplied
by resolution).
################


Another possibility to get total upslope contributing area for each
cell is the flow accumulation output of r.watershed and r.terraflow.

Upslope contributing areas for arbitrary points can be determined with
r.stream.basins, or one point after another with r.water.outlet. These
modules use drainage direction produced by r.watershed as input.

HTH,

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!
