Watershed Management

Subtopic: Watershed characterization and land use capability classification

Question Statement:

In a drainage basin of area $50\text{ km}^2$, the total cumulative length of all stream channels of all orders is $125\text{ km}$. The drainage density ($D_d$) of the basin in $\text{km/km}^2$ is ________ (round off to 1 decimal place).

Answer Key:

2.5

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Drainage density $D_d$ is the total stream length divided by watershed area: $D_d = \frac{\sum L}{A} = \frac{125\text{ km}}{50\text{ km}^2} = 2.5\text{ km/km}^2$
