Hi,

I am creating stream orders for morphometric analysis.

At what threshold will we write to the Con tool when creating a stream? (Example "Value > 100").

As known this affects all accounts as it affects the number of Strahler stream orders.

How can I determine the threshold that I am going to write in the "Con tool" and that is suitable for my basin?

DEM data has been attached.

Best wishes, Ahmet.

From the help topic, there is a reference link

Stream Order (Spatial Analyst)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation 

Tarboton D. G., R. L. Bras, I. Rodriguez–Iturbe. 1991. On the Extraction of Channel Networks from Digital Elevation Data. Hydrological Processes. 5: 81–100.

If you are associated with an academic institution, you can access the original here

otherwise, it will be some $$ or you will have to Dr Google to see if anyone has covered the salient points in other links
