Watershed Area given Shape Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

Watershed Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Watershed Area is an isolated area with a well demarcated boundary line, draining the rainwater to a single outlet.
Watershed Length - (Measured in Meter) - Watershed Length is distance from outlet to watershed boundary along main channel.
Shape Factor - Shape Factor refers to a value that is affected by an object's shape.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Watershed Length: 50 Meter --> 50 Meter No Conversion Required
Shape Factor: 1250 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A = (L^2)/B_s --> (50^2)/1250

Evaluating ... ...

A = 2

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2 Square Meter <-- Watershed Area

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 Watershed Area given Shape Factor?

Watershed Area given Shape Factor calculator uses Watershed Area = (Watershed Length^2)/Shape Factor to calculate the Watershed Area, The Watershed Area given Shape Factor formula is defined as the isolated area with a well-demarcated boundary line, draining the rainwater to a single outlet. Watershed Area is denoted by A symbol.

How to calculate Watershed Area given Shape Factor using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Watershed Area given Shape Factor, enter Watershed Length (L) & Shape Factor (B_s) and hit the calculate button.
