For Geomorphological Study:
Drainage density (Dd) expresses total stream length per unit drainage area. It depends on climate (mainly rainfall), geology, vegetation cover, erosivity, infiltration capacity and permeability of underlying rock and soil, relief and slope aspect of the basin (Horton, 1932; Strahler, 1964; Morisawa, 1968; Verstappen, 1983). Drainage density are quietly depends on the stage of evolution. With the progress of youth stage towards maturity, Dd increases rapidly; while towards old stage it decreases.
Drainage density is typically calculated by dividing the total stream length in a watershed by the area of the watershed. This provides a measure of how well the drainage network is developed within the landscape. Low drainage density indicates less developed drainage patterns, while high drainage density suggests a more well-defined network of streams and rivers.
Some other factors that influence drainage density include vegetation cover, soil type, topography, and climate. Vegetation can slow down the flow of water, while soil type can affect infiltration rates. Steep topography typically results in higher drainage density, while a wet climate can contribute to more extensive drainage networks.
runoff- the higher the evaporation the lower the drainage desity.the amount of rainfall and infiltration. if there is more rainfall there is less infiltration
it means what does the fox say
Common materials used for underground drainage pipes include PVC (polyvinyl chloride), HDPE (high-density polyethylene), and concrete.
the term natural drainage means the natural runoff of water from an area in rivers and streams. Drainage pattern drainage system and network of rivers are terms used to describe the natural drainage of areaWHERE IT HAS SOME POINTS TO IT,GORGESWATERFALLSRAPIDSSTREAMS AND SPRINGS
it means it looks like the branches of a tree
The washing machine has detected a drainage issue.
a tributary is a stream coming off a river, and drainage means to drain(duh),e.g water can be drained
When drainage density is high, it indicates a greater network of streams and rivers per unit area, which can lead to increased surface runoff and faster movement of water through the landscape. This often results in a higher risk of flooding, soil erosion, and sediment transport, as water quickly drains from the land. Additionally, high drainage density can affect local ecosystems, potentially disrupting habitats and altering water availability for plants and animals. Overall, it reflects the landscape's ability to efficiently convey water away from an area.
relative density is related to the density of water. i.e. a relative density of 19.3 means that it has a density 19.3 times the density of water. The density of water is 1g/ml therefore the density of gold is 19.3g/ml
