Abstract: DEM data is the basis for watershed hydrological analysis and simulation. The results of hydrological analysis and simulation have been impacted profoundly by different resolution scale of DEM. Based on the DEM data acquired by airborne LiDAR, the discrepancies resulted from different resolution DEM in slope extraction and hydrological index analysis are analyzed. And the SWAT distributed hydrological model is used to simulate and analyze the hydrological effects of DEM data with different resolutions. The research shows that, with the decrease of the DEM resolution, the slope and the mean SPI reduced, the mean TWI increased. The mean LSF increases first and then decreases, the maximum LSF is at 10 m resolution. The SWAT model simulation results indicate that, with the lower resolution and the smaller value of the slope, TWI becomes larger, evapotranspiration increases, surface runoff depth reduces while the amount of soil leakage and underground runoff is first decrease and then increase, same as LSF, 10 m is the extreme point.
