A topological tree is one way to represent a watershed in the absence of terrain data. When a digital terrain model or feature objects are being used to automate basin delineation and build a particular sub basin configuration, a tree is simultaneously generated. The tree representation uses icons for confluences (outlet points) and basins, and should be clear to both experienced and inexperienced users of hydrologic models such as HEC-1 or TR-20.

The public domain version supports the building of a hydrologic model using a topologic tree as the only means of developing the model.

An equivalent tree representation is also shown and can be selected from the Project Explorer.
