Digital Elevation Models (DEM) constitutes fundamental
information for regional height. It is required for several planning and
research purposes. There are several sources of DEM data, but the most widely
used and freely accessible is the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). The SRTM provides elevation data on almost 80% of
the earth’s surface. The wide scale DEM image covered by SRTM
is an advantage for national scale applications. The scale and the availability
of SRTM data enable it to substitute the
traditionally used topographic maps in different studies. While SRTM is not widely applied in
