Hi Baxter,
Try to have a look at r.water.outlet in Grass manual. I used it to delineate more than 9 subcatchments
using drainage map created by r.watershed. You need first to zoom in at the outlet cells to define the
exact northing and easting coordinates and then zoom out again to capture the entire area you are
after. Then, you should be able to define all cells drain to this outlet cell.
The DEM I was using is 25 m resolution.
I wish this would help. Let me know if you have further enquiries.
Cheers,

This is a reply to:
We are delineating the watersheds of several endoreic basins. One
project is in the prairie pothole region of North Dakota and the
other is in the HAPEX Sahel region in Nigeria. Both present similar
problems in that the r.watershed routines sub-basins that do not
cover the entire watershed. We have achieved marginal results after
applying the following:
1. Use a blocking mask that is an inverse of the dem
2. Use a mask that is the outside region of the demUsing these two parameters does cause the drainage network to
drain to the interior (pool area).Has anyone had similar experiences or have any suggestions!
We intend to model the hydrology of these pools with tools
similar to r.water.fea. So every cell and its drainage direction
are important to the simulation.Thanks--
