arcgis desktop - Getting subbasin area of each specified river segment？

I have a DEM file of one district, and I have used those following tools in spatial analyst tools in ArcGIS 10.1 to get files related to the original DEM file：

• Fill


• Flow direction


• Flow accumulation

Besides, I already have the point shapefile that these points are vertices in the river the one belongs to the same district as DEM file, so I use the point shapefile as the pour points in the river.

I use the watershed tool, setting my flow direction file and point shapefile as input files, try to get the subbasin area in this river.

I just got this：

But here's the schematic photo that I want：I want to get every subbasin area and calculate them, assigning them to the attribute of the designated segment

In what way should I use tools in ArcGIS to achieve my goal, thanks for giving me any suggestion!

Although I have a great answer to this question, I got another problem afterwards：Getting additional subbasin areas designated by points in river network？

Answer

I would recommend that you use the (free) extension ArcHydro Tools. It's got a lot more features and ways to tweak your results than the built-in functions.

There is a document here for 10.1 which outlines possible workflows. Although it's a bit different than in 10.0, it should give you a good starting point to get the idea of the software.

Unless you want to take sinks into account, you can start out as you already did (but you have to do it again with these functions to keep consistency). Try using the functions in this order:

1. Fill sinks


2. Flow direction


3. Flow accumulation


4. Stream defintion


5. Stream segmentation



6. Catchment grid delineation


7. Catchment polygon processing


8. (Drainage line processing)


9. (Adjoint catchment processing)

Watch out in step 4, that is where you indirectly define the size of your catchments by the threshold value. Each stream segment will then get a catchment on it's own, so this might (should) require some trial and error to get right.

EDIT: After installing ArcHydro tools you activate them just like any other toolbar (right-click in the grey area around the existing toolbars):

Then you use the Terrain preprocessing group:
