Description

Filling in pits and flats in a DEM.

This tool implements suggested code examples from the text book Quantitative Modeling of Earth Surface Processes (Pelletier 2008) and serves as demonstration on code adaptions for the SAGA API. Note that this tool may be of limited use for operational purposes!
