I took the request for MFD support in r.watershed by Helena and Dylan to

This output has been calculated from elev_lid1972_1m in the North

Markus, this is absolutely amazing! I was just testing a new version of my erosion simulation module (r.landscape.evol) in whic I had incorporated the new r.watershed, and I was getting the “linear artifacts” that Helena mentioned in my long term (100 cycle) runs. I was experimenting with neighborhood median smoothing to amelorate these effects, and had just determined that a 5x5 median smoothing window worked the best, even though it adds ~12 seconds per cycle to the run time. But that may all be irrelevant now that you have implemented MFD into r.watershed! I can;t wait to test this new functionality of r.watershed in r.landscape.evol, I’m expecting it to produce fantastic results!
