This tool should only be run following a manual review of the “Depression” feature class, during which false or inaccurate depressions are manually deleted. Alternatively, the user may interactively select true depressions on-screen rather than delete false depressions. When used as an input to the Depression Watersheds tool, the selection will be honored and watersheds will be found for only those depressions selected.

The output is a Depression Drainage Areas feature class (Depress_Wsheds + inHUC), which can be linked to the depression feature class through a “Depress_ID” field, and contains the following information for each drainage area as attributes.
