Width of Basin given Form Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Width of Basin = Form Factor*Length of Basin
W_b = F_f*L_b
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Width of Basin - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Basin is any area of land where precipitation collects and drains off into a common outlet, such as into a river, bay, or other body of water.
Form Factor - Form Factor is a ratio of watershed area to the square of the length of the watershed.
Length of Basin - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Basin refers to the distance from one end of the basin to the other, typically measured along the longest axis.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Form Factor: 0.008 --> No Conversion Required
Length of Basin: 30 Meter --> 30 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_b = F_f*L_b --> 0.008*30

Evaluating ... ...

W_b = 0.24

W_b = F_f*L_b

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.

How to Calculate Width of Basin given Form Factor?

Width of Basin given Form Factor calculator uses Width of Basin = Form Factor*Length of Basin to calculate the Width of Basin, The Width of Basin given Form Factor formula is defined as the form factor, representing its shape and efficiency in capturing rainfall runoff. Width of Basin is denoted by W_b symbol.

How to calculate Width of Basin given Form Factor using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Width of Basin given Form Factor, enter Form Factor (F_f) & Length of Basin (L_b) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Width of Basin given Form Factor calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.24 = 0.008*30.
