Direction of water flow is determined by the direction of steepest descent, or maximum drop, from each cell (Jenson and Domingue, 1988). The output of the Flow Direction tool uses the D8 method to determine the maximum drop (gradient) in a direction from a point or centroid of a polygon or polyline.
