Detecting, connecting and characterising drainage ditches from airborne LiDAR data KU Leuven
Artificial drainage networks sculpt landscapes as they result from the constant efforts of farmers adjusting landscapes to the needs and constraints imposed by agriculture. As structural landscape elements, they play a role in flood control and biogeochemical cycles. Furthermore, they are ecological hotspots and enhance connectivity within the landscape. Spatially distributed process models that estimate rainfall-runoff, predict flood levels ...
