Abstract
The identification and analysis of natural channel networks from digit al elevation models are discussed from the point of view of their envi ronmental applications. An interactive, graphical software package tha t implements some of the most widely used techniques for the automatic recognition of channel networks and for the computation of some usefu l geomorphologic indices and functions is presented.
