This tool can be used to insert dams at one or more user-specified points (dam_pts), and of a maximum length (damlength), within an input digital elevation model (DEM) (dem). This tool can be thought of as providing the impoundment feature that is calculated internally during a run of the the impoundment size index (ISI) tool for a set of points of interest. from a (DEM).
