Stream Burning Formula:

Convert the streams to a grid using the same extent and cell size as the dem and a "z" value representing the depth of the burn

(you may have to add a field ie depth and use the field calculator to enter a value eg 5). Call this grid [streams].

Use the raster calculator to combine the dem (eg [dem] )with the stream ie : [burned] = con([stream] == 5, [dem] - [stream], [dem]) alternately you can reclass the streams so that the stream is class as 0 where there was nodata and 5 (or whatever burn depth) where there was a stream then simply subtract [burned] = [dem] - [stream

demburn = con(isnull([rivrast]), [yourdem], [yourdem]-10)
