| Abstract: | The extraction of the water hydrographical pattern and watershed and subwatershed boundary is very important for many types of study. In Jordan the topographic map scale 1:25,000 produced at the Royal Jordanian Geographic Center is considered the most important source of contour lines and drainage pattern; therefore, it is imperative to estimate the accuracy of these types of data extracted from the previous topographic maps. In this project we aim to extract the hydrographical pattern of the Humrat Assahn basin in two methods: (1) an orthophoto based on aerial photographs using Socetset as photogrammetric software and (2) topographic maps at scale 1:25,000. A precise Digital Terrain Model (DTM) was built from stereoscopic aerial photographs using Socetset software. As we know, the quality of DTM is imperative to assure precise results and depends on the method of creation of this DTM besides other factors. A complete data base for the necessary information for achieving this objective was built. The obtained results were evaluated using GPS points and photo-interpretation. The results show that the drainage pattern extracted from DTM using photogrametric software was very accurate; meanwhile, the accuracy of the drainage pattern extracted from topographic maps has some flaws. |
