Various artifacts were introduced in the conditioned DEMs of HydroSheds. Rather use the filled, but not conditioned DEMs, particularly when you want to use r.watershed or r.stream.extract. The results will be more realistic. Or to be 100% sure, use SRTM v2.1 and fill nodata with GRASS. > On the HydroSheds- > Website (http://hydrosheds.cr.usgs.gov/dataavail.php) there are two possible > file formats: bil and esri grid. > > The esri grid folder for Europe (eu_dem_15s) contains several files all with > .adf ending and metadata (htm, xml). > The bil folder contains the eu_dem_15s.bil and a *.hdr and *.prj and some > more. You should download both and investigate the output of gdalinfo for both. One of them might have wrong extents and resolution. For example, worldclim also provides the same two file formats: bil and esri grid. In this case, the esri grid is wrong and the bil format should be used (ESRI has problems with coordinate precision). Markus M > > Which format is prefered for importing into GRASS?
