DESCRIPTION

r.wateroutlet.lessmem is a modified version of r.water.outlet and requires about one third of memory compared to the original module. Input drainage direction information is stored as 4-bit segments in the buffer and output basin result is stored as 1-bit data. Because of heavy bitwise operations, there may be some performance penalty depending on the size of the input map. Other than memory management, this module uses the same interface and algorithm in r.water.outlet, so please refer to r.water.outlet for more details.
