Watershed Management

Subtopic: Watershed characterization and land use capability classification

Question Statement:

A watershed has a total drainage basin area of $50.0\text{ km}^2$. The sum of lengths of all mapped stream channels of all orders is $\sum L = 125.0\text{ km}$. The drainage density ($D_d = \frac{\sum L}{A}$) in $\text{km/km}^2$ is ________ (round off to 1 decimal place).

Answer Key:

2.5

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Drainage density is defined as: $D_d = \frac{\sum L}{A} = \frac{125.0\text{ km}}{50.0\text{ km}^2} = 2.5\text{ km/km}^2$
