Abstract
The main water of Tarim Basin is from snowmelt and precipitation in the mountainous area by surface runoff into the basin. The extraction of hydrological information and analysis of hydrological characteristics was conducted based on DEM, through studying the basic principle of watershed extraction, and using ArcGIS hydrology toolbox in this paper. The results show that the river network in the Tarim River Basin extracted by ArcGIS is basically the same, compared with original nine rivers flowing into the mainstream.
