The aim of the following case study is to analyze quantitatively the drainage network in the Vitosha Mountain, SW Bulgaria. Drainage network is outlined from topographic maps and extracted from digital elevation model (DEM). Several morphometric parameters are calculated – drainage density, channel-segment frequency, total stream length, etc. Hierarchy of tributaries and main rivers is also discussed.
