Burning stream network into DEM layer in QGIS
This video demonstrates how to perform catchment delineation by burning a river into a DEM to force the water to follow the main hydrography. We first download river data from OpenStreetMap and preprocess it. The GRASS r.carve algorithm from the processing toolbox is used for burning the river in the SRTM DEM.

The catchment delineation procedure is based on Chapter 4 of the book "QGIS for Hydrological Applications - Recipes for Catchment Hydrology and Water Management" by Kurt Menke and Hans van der Kwast.
