Summary
Abstract: The Africa Soil Information Service: Hydrologically Corrected/Adjusted SRTM DEM (AfrHySRTM) is an adjusted elevation raster in which any depressions in the source Digital Elevation Model (DEM) have been eliminated (filled), but allowing for internal drainage since some landscapes contain natural depressions. These landscapes have their own internal drainage systems, which are not connected to ... View entire text
