What is Form Factor?

Form factor is defined as the ratio of the basin area to the square of the basin length. The value of the form factor would always be less than 0.754 (for a perfectly circular watershed). The smaller the value of the form factor, the more elongated will be the watershed.

What is a Shape Factor?

A Shape Factor or Basin Shape Factor is the shortest distance between the catchment outlet and centroid divided by the square root of the catchment area.

How to Calculate Form Factor given Shape Factor?

Form Factor given Shape Factor calculator uses Form Factor = 1/Shape Factor to calculate the Form Factor, The Form Factor given Shape Factor formula is defined as the reciprocal of the value of the shape factor. Form Factor is denoted by F_f symbol.
