Sentence examples for drainage composition from inspiring English sources

This apart, geometry of ephemeral nets obeys the laws of drainage composition that apply to perennial streams: stream length, stream number, channel width, and water discharge can be expressed as exponential functions of stream order, and drainage area and channel slope as power functions, whereas slope and discharge can be expressed as power functions of width and drainage area.

Although reliable comparative data are scarce, it seems likely that ephemeral channel systems develop higher order ranking, area for area, than do perennial streams: channels as high as 11th order are recorded for basins of about 1,300 square kilometres, whereas the Mississippi is usually placed only in the 10th order (see below Horton's laws of drainage composition).
