#3410 closed defect (worksforme)

r.watershed doesn't route flow when the flow (input) is null

Description

The documentation states that a MASK is not necessary and null DEM values can be used as a mask, but does not state that null FLOW also acts as a mask. Seems like a minor doc bug.

Or better yet, rather than a doc bug, a new flag so that null flow can be treated as zero would be nice.

I think how it works now is consistent with how nulls are generally treated in GRASS, they propagate. So it could be explicitly explained in the manual, but I wouldn't say it's a bug. As for the flag, I am not sure if that's necessary when you can solve it with r.null.
