Abstract
In recent years, LiDAR(Light Detection and Ranging) data has been widely used to prepare digital elevation models(DEMs) with the high spatial resolution of centi-meters. This paper investigated possible applications of LiDAR-derived DEMs in surface hydrology modeling, such as characterizing flow direction, identifying sub-basins in a watershed, and calculating variables like upstream contribution area. The results were compared to the results of the DEMs from conventional topographic maps.
