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.

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.
