Abstract

The Headwater System (HS) is defined as the area between the ridge line, and the beginning of the channel network. The HS have high importance in the hydrological, geomorphological, and biological processes of the drainage basin. It is crucial to map HS areas in order to define the suitable land uses in the landscape related policies.
