ImplicationsGenerally fractal
Similar to values across watersheds
Techniques create varying ranges of dimension
Only divider method illustrates sinuosity vs branching
Higher fractal dimensions have higher drainage densities
More space-filling

Further StudySimulate Tree Networks of Similar Dimension
Probability Distribution in Statistical Fractals
