Problem # 2: Select a river anywhere in Canada for which streamflow data is available from Water Survey
Canada. (Hint: Selection of a river with a drainage area less than 50Km2 is preferable for the purpose). This year
the river selected is the MOOSE CREEK at LEVACK (WSC -ID # 02CF013), Ontario. The hydrometric station
on this river is located at LAT 463808 N and LONG 812325 W with the listed drainage area 40.6km2. For the
selected river, accomplish the tasks listed as items I, II, and III below.
I. [Marks 10] State the order of the selected river and delineate a drainage boundary for the river using NTS
National Topographic System maps (map scale of 1:50,000). You should proceed to obtain watershed
characteristics using the directions provided on page 2 of this assignment.
II.[Marks 30] Determine and/or verify the drainage area, the length (L) of the main channel, the slope of the
main channel, and the slope of the watershed; and the centroid of the watershed and the length (Lc)
associated with the main channel and the centroid of the watershed. Basin drainage density and Basin shape
factor basin perimeter basin area
