	Creates an upstream trace from the selected channel, selecting all upstream network objects in the QGIS map window (network lines and network points). It's recommended to use the flow trace tool in conjunction with the snapping tool and pipe direction tool, as it will highlight any 'breaks' in the network ('breaks' could be caused by snapping or pipe direction errors). In this respect, it can be used initially without any of the processing options ~~turn~~ on.<Br><BR>		Creates an upstream trace from the selected channel, selecting all upstream network objects in the QGIS map window (network lines and network points).
