or stream per entire stream length. It is given by the equation:

where ? is the stream power, per unit downstream length and L is the length of the stream.

Unit (or Specific) Stream power

Unit stream power is stream power per unit channel width, and is given by the equation:

where ? is the unit stream power, and b is the width of the channel. Normalizing the stream power by the width of the river allows for a better comparison between rivers of various widths. This also provides
