  ABSTRACT: Accuracy and quality of DEM are of a great interest for a wide range of applications. In this study, quality of ASTER GDEM and SRTM DEMs were assessed in comparison with DGPS measurements. Impact of DEM resolution upon the accuracy of terrain representation and topographic attributes was also discussed. The study deduced that vertical error has a strong effect on error propagation and this highly obvious in higher elevations as the absolute standard error (SE) ranges between is ±0 - 2.5 and ±0 - 2.4 m for ASTER GDEM and SRTM respectively. This is reflected on slope and aspect as the vertical errors increase and uncertainty is relatively high in flat and low areas. Error propagation in low lands influenced drainage extraction and resulted in isolated and truncated water courses.
