Abstract
This paper uses a process of boundary grid refinement to
produce a greatly enhanced procedure which is accurate and
more computationally inexpensive than the standard
constant size grid of starts (GOS) method. The algorithm
focuses on the boundaries of the catchment basins which
need the most attention. Concepts of parent cells, child cells
and cell division are used. The necessity for recursion in the
algorithm is discussed. The procedure is valid for both non-fractal and fractal boundaries. A comparison with other
methods such as SCM and ICM mapping methods are made
to evaluate computational efficiency and accuracy.
