Grid method of determining mean flow-distance in a drainage basin

The basin characteristics Σ al or L ca are useful in hydrologic studies, but existing methods of determining them are either tedious or somewhat inaccurate. The grid method presented herein lessens the amount of tedious labor and provides an accurate measure of either Σ al or L ca . An adaptation of the method could be used to compute the lag time for the basin.
