Drainage Density Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Drainage Density = Length of all Streams of Catchment/Catchment Area
D_d = L_s/A_catchment
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Drainage Density - Drainage Density is the ratio of total length of all streams of the catchment divided by its area.
Length of all Streams of Catchment - (Measured in Kilometer) - Length of all Streams of Catchment is the total length of all streams present in any particular region.
Catchment Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Catchment Area is an area of land where all water flows to a single stream, river, lake or even ocean.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Length of all Streams of Catchment: 80 Kilometer --> 80 Kilometer No Conversion Required
Catchment Area: 2 Square Meter --> 2 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D_d = L_s/A_catchment --> 80/2

Evaluating ... ...

D_d = 40

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

40 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

40 <-- Drainage Density

What is Drainage density?

Drainage density is the total length of all the streams and rivers in a drainage basin divided by the total area of the drainage basin. It is a measure of how well or how poorly a watershed is drained by stream channels.

How to Calculate Drainage Density?

Drainage Density calculator uses Drainage Density = Length of all Streams of Catchment/Catchment Area to calculate the Drainage Density, The Drainage Density formula is defined as the total length of all the streams and rivers in a drainage basin divided by the total area of the drainage basin. Drainage Density is denoted by D_d symbol.

How to calculate Drainage Density using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Drainage Density, enter Length of all Streams of Catchment (L_s) & Catchment Area (A_catchment) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Drainage Density calculation can be explained with given input values -> 40 = 80000/2.

FAQ

What is Drainage Density?

The Drainage Density formula is defined as the total length of all the streams and rivers in a drainage basin divided by the total area of the drainage basin and is represented as D_d = L_s/A_catchment or Drainage Density = Length of all Streams of Catchment/Catchment Area. Length of all Streams of Catchment is the total length of all streams present in any particular region & Catchment Area is an area of land where all water flows to a single stream, river, lake or even ocean.

How to calculate Drainage Density?

The Drainage Density formula is defined as the total length of all the streams and rivers in a drainage basin divided by the total area of the drainage basin is calculated using Drainage Density = Length of all Streams of Catchment/Catchment Area. To calculate Drainage Density, you need Length of all Streams of Catchment (L_s) & Catchment Area (A_catchment). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Length of all Streams of Catchment & Catchment Area and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
