Watershed Length given Shape Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Watershed Length = sqrt(Shape Factor*Catchment Area)
L = sqrt(B_s*A_catchment)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

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.
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

Shape Factor: 1250 --> No Conversion Required
Catchment Area: 2 Square Meter --> 2 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L = sqrt(B_s*A_catchment) --> sqrt(1250*2)

Evaluating ... ...

L = 50

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

50 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

50 Meter <-- Watershed Length

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 Length given Shape Factor?

Watershed Length given Shape Factor calculator uses Watershed Length = sqrt(Shape Factor*Catchment Area) to calculate the Watershed Length, The Watershed Length given Shape Factor formula is defined as the distance from an outlet to the watershed boundary along the main channel. Watershed Length is denoted by L symbol.

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