Drainage Area in Engineering Hydrology Formulas

Drainage Area is the total surface area, where the water from rain which is not absorbed into the ground flows over the ground surface, back into streams, to finally reach that point. And is denoted by A_D. Drainage Area is usually measured using the Square Kilometer for Area. Note that the value of Drainage Area is always negative.
