Selecting the flow accumulation threshold (FAT) plays a central role in extracting drainage networks from Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). This work presents the MR-AP (Multiple Regression and Adaptive Power) method for choosing suitable FAT when extracting drainage from DEMs. This work employs 36 sample sub-basins in Hubei (China) province. Firstly, topography, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and water storage change are used in building multiple regression models to calculate the drainage length. Power functions are fit to calculate the FAT of each sub-basin. Nine randomly chosen regions served as test sub-basins. The results show that: (1) water storage change and NDVI have high correlation with the drainage length, and the coefficient of determination (R2) ranges between 0.85 and 0.87; (2) the drainage length obtained from the Multiple Regression model using water storage change, NDVI, and topography as influence factors is similar to the actual drainage length, featuring a coefficient of determination (R2) equal to 0.714; (3) the MR-AP method calculates suitable FATs for each sub-basin in Hubei province, with a drainage length error equal to 5.13%. Moreover, drainage network extraction by the MR-AP method mainly depends on the water storage change and the NDVI, thus being consistent with the regional water-resources change.
