<bullet_item>
<para>A sink is a cell with an undefined drainage direction; no cells surrounding it are lower. The pour point is the boundary cell with the lowest elevation for the contributing area of a sink. If the sink were filled with water, this is the point where water would pour out.</para>
</bullet_item>
<bullet_item>
<para>The z-limit specifies the maximum difference allowed between the depth of a sink and the pour point, and determines which sinks will be filled and which will remain untouched. The z-limit is not the maximum depth to which a sink can be filled.</para>
<para>For example, consider a sink area where the pour point is 210 feet in elevation, and the deepest point within the sink is 204 feet (a difference of 6 feet). If the z-limit is set to 8, this particular sink will be filled. However, if the z-limit is set to 4, this sink will not be filled since the depth of this sink exceeds this difference and would be considered a valid sink.</para>
</bullet_item>
<bullet_item>
<para>All sinks that are less than the z-limit, and lower than their lowest adjacent neighbor, will be filled to the height of their pour points.</para>
</bullet_item>
<bullet_item>
<para>The number of sinks found with the z-limit will determine the length of processing time. The more sinks there are, the longer the processing time will be.</para>
