Background webinar – February 2023

This course is designed to allow you to build a catchment and stream delineation model step by step with the presenters using QGIS and other tools. You will run, animate, interpret and troubleshoot your model.

Course Overview

QGIS and catchment delineation

You’ll learn the generic workflow for stream and catchment delineation for areas where only open data is available. We’ll start with the theory covering the concepts, followed by practical exercises in QGIS. You’ll learn to:

Find and download SRTM DEM tiles
Mosaic, reproject and subset the DEM
Hydrologically correct the DEM by filling the sinks
Calculate and visualise the flow direction layer
Delineate streams using the Strahler order method
Delineate the catchment of a specific outflow point
Evaluate the results

QGIS and visualisation of data

You’ll learn how to take the final data and make a beautiful map showcasing the results. First you’ll learn some symbology tricks. Then you will learn the basics of setting up a print composition with standard map elements such as a scale bar, north arrow, legend and locator map. By the end of the course you will have produced an attractive map of the catchment in QGIS and learned some tricks along the way, including:

Styling DEMs, rivers, catchments and landmarks
Adding Labels
Focusing attention on the catchment
Setting up a basic print layout
Adding standard map elements
Using Expressions to enhance the layout
Adding a locator map
Exporting the final product

Format

6+ hours of session recordings with unlimited access for 30-days;
Pre-and-post-course materials to go through via the learning platform.
Manual of the course and working model download/s.

Requirements

Downloads and software: For this course, you will be using QGIS 3.28.X to introduce you to the latest functionalities available from the Long Term Release (LTR).
A good internet connection and software and downloads (full details provided upon course registration). A basic knowledge of GIS, QGIS and hydrology is recommended but not essential. You’ll need a computer with at least 8GB RAM (16GB) recommended.

Outcome

On completion of the course participants will be issued with an official QGIS Certificate;
Participants earn CPD hours/points (i.e. with Engineers Australia) for at least 12 hours for the entire course.
