Shape Factor given Watershed Length Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Shape Factor = (Watershed Length)^2/Catchment Area
B_s = (L)^2/A_catchment
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Shape Factor - Shape Factor refers to a value that is affected by an object's shape.
Watershed Length - (Measured in Meter) - Watershed Length is distance from outlet to watershed boundary along main channel.
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

Watershed Length: 50 Meter --> 50 Meter No Conversion Required
Catchment Area: 2 Square Meter --> 2 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

B_s = (L)^2/A_catchment --> (50)^2/2

Evaluating ... ...

B_s = 1250

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1250 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1250 <-- Shape Factor

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.

What determines the Shape of a Watershed?

The Shape of a Watershed influences the shape of its characteristic hydrograph. For example, a long-shaped watershed generates, for the same rainfall, a lower outlet flow, as the concentration time is higher.

How to Calculate Shape Factor given Watershed Length?

Shape Factor given Watershed Length calculator uses Shape Factor = (Watershed Length)^2/Catchment Area to calculate the Shape Factor, The Shape Factor given Watershed Length formula is defined as the shortest distance between the catchment outlet and centroid divided by the square root of the catchment area. Shape Factor is denoted by B_s symbol.

How to calculate Shape Factor given Watershed Length using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Shape Factor given Watershed Length, enter Watershed Length (L) & Catchment Area (A_catchment) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Shape Factor given Watershed Length calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1250 = (50)^2/2.
