Thank you for your tutorials they are well presented and invaluable for providing guidance in understanding hydrological analysis. I have tried to make use of the r.hazard.flood grass tools but have not been able to locate in QGIS 16.1. Have tried to install and shows successfully installed but not found in tool box. Perhaps a subject for a future study since lake flood will not generate an inundation map as elevation over stream length changes. Thanks again for the exceptional work.

Have you ever used this tool with a "seeds" Raster as an input?

[@HansvanderKwast]

In the video we use a raster with elevation 100 as Seeds raster. You can use any other raster as Seeds raster in the same way.
