Subtopic: Hydrograph Analysis and Watershed Routing

Question Statement:

Drainage density $D_d$ of a watershed of total stream length $\sum L$ and basin area $A$ is expressed as:

Options:

  • (A) $D_d = \frac{\sum L}{A}$
  • (B) $D_d = \frac{A}{\sum L}$
  • (C) $D_d = \frac{\sum L}{\sqrt{A}}$
  • (D) $D_d = \frac{A}{P^2}$

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Drainage density measures the total length of all stream channels per unit watershed area ($D_d = \sum L / A$, typically in $\text{km/km}^2$).
