How can I use the bifurcation ratio to better understand the hydrologic properties of my catchment?
The bifurcation ratio is generally recognised as an excellent measure of the fractal nature of the stream network within a catchment or subcatchment. Differences in bifurcation between subcatchments (particularly if these differences are evident at a range of SAT values) can be used to justify assignment of different lag times and routing coefficients in hydrologic or hydraulic models. An example of investigating the rainfall response of different subcatchments using the bifurcation ratio can be found by clicking here.
