According to the r.watershed manual: "Output accumulation map contains the
absolute value of each cell in this output map is the amount of overland
flow that traverses the cell. This value will be the number of upland
cells plus one if no overland flow map is given. If the overland flow map
is given, the value will be in overland flow units. Negative numbers
indicate that those cells possibly have surface runoff from outside of the
current geographic region. Thus, any cells with negative values cannot
have their surface runoff and sedimentation yields calculated accurately.

  Yep, that's what I read, too.

So basically the darker the cell, the larger the drained area. Darker
cells therefore show the flow courses according to the topography.

  I thought this to be the case, but the legend doesn't reflect it.

Note that Itzï does not need an output to run. If you set a simulation
with only the DEM, an uniform friction coefficient and an uniform
rainfall, the water will simply accumulate in the depressions, giving you
an insight of the flow patterns.

  Now, this is very useful information that I did not pick up from reading
the manual page.

Thanks, Laurent,
