Stream Density Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Stream Density = Number of Streams/Catchment Area
D_s = Ns/A_catchment
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Stream Density - Stream Density is the length of all channels within the basin divided by the area of the basin.
Number of Streams - Number of Streams “Ns” of given order per Sq. Km.
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

Number of Streams: 12 --> No Conversion Required
Catchment Area: 2 Square Meter --> 2 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D_s = Ns/A_catchment --> 12/2

Evaluating ... ...

D_s = 6

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6 <-- Stream Density

What is Stream Density?

Stream density is the length of all channels within the basin divided by the area of the basin. Stream density is one of the most important characteristics for evaluating potential runoff. A drainage basin with a large number of tributaries has a higher stream density than a basin with very few tributary streams

How to Calculate Stream Density?

Stream Density calculator uses Stream Density = Number of Streams/Catchment Area to calculate the Stream Density, The Stream Density formula is defined as the length of all channels within the basin divided by the area of the basin. Stream Density is denoted by D_s symbol.

How to calculate Stream Density using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Stream Density, enter Number of Streams (Ns) & Catchment Area (A_catchment) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Stream Density calculation can be explained with given input values -> 6 = 12/2.

FAQ

What is Stream Density?

The Stream Density formula is defined as the length of all channels within the basin divided by the area of the basin and is represented as D_s = Ns/A_catchment or Stream Density = Number of Streams/Catchment Area. Number of Streams “Ns” of given order per Sq. Km & Catchment Area is an area of land where all water flows to a single stream, river, lake or even ocean.

How to calculate Stream Density?

The Stream Density formula is defined as the length of all channels within the basin divided by the area of the basin is calculated using Stream Density = Number of Streams/Catchment Area. To calculate Stream Density, you need Number of Streams (Ns) & Catchment Area (A_catchment). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Number of Streams & Catchment Area and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
