Drainage Density Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Drainage Density = Length of all Streams of Catchment/Catchment Area
Dd = Ls/Acatchment
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Drainage Density - Drainage Density is the ratio of total length of all streams of the catchment divided by its area.
Length of all Streams of Catchment - (Measured in Kilometer) - Length of all Streams of Catchment is the total length of all streams present in any particular region.
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
Length of all Streams of Catchment: 80 Kilometer --> 80 Kilometer No Conversion Required
Catchment Area: 2 Square Meter --> 2 Square Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Dd = Ls/Acatchment --> 80/2
Evaluating ... ...
Dd = 40
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
40 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
40 <-- Drainage Density
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

3 Drainage Density Calculators

Length of all Streams given Drainage Density
Go Length of all Streams of Catchment = Drainage Density*Catchment Area
Catchment Area given Drainage Density
Go Catchment Area = Length of all Streams of Catchment/Drainage Density
Drainage Density
Go Drainage Density = Length of all Streams of Catchment/Catchment Area

Drainage Density Formula

Drainage Density = Length of all Streams of Catchment/Catchment Area
Dd = Ls/Acatchment

What is Drainage density?

Drainage density is the total length of all the streams and rivers in a drainage basin divided by the total area of the drainage basin. It is a measure of how well or how poorly a watershed is drained by stream channels.

How to Calculate Drainage Density?

Drainage Density calculator uses Drainage Density = Length of all Streams of Catchment/Catchment Area to calculate the Drainage Density, The Drainage Density formula is defined as the total length of all the streams and rivers in a drainage basin divided by the total area of the drainage basin. Drainage Density is denoted by Dd symbol.

How to calculate Drainage Density using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Drainage Density, enter Length of all Streams of Catchment (Ls) & Catchment Area (Acatchment) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Drainage Density calculation can be explained with given input values -> 40 = 80000/2.

FAQ

What is Drainage Density?
