Illustration of how subtle differences in creek detection can significantly impact branching and creek order throughout the system (valid for both Strahler and Reverse Strahler ordering). Detection method a led to one 4th Reverse Strahler (RS) order creek to be omitted (red dashed circle) compared with method b, with a knock-on effect on the rest of the creek system, notably the length of the large RS order 1 creek. The detected entry channel (RS order 1) is twice as long and sinuous in b than in a.
