Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Drainage density is higher in areas with rapid runoff because water flows more quickly over the surface, leading to a greater concentration of channels or drains to carry the water away. High amounts of infiltration, extensive vegetation cover, gentle slopes, and few rills would all contribute to slower runoff, thus reducing the need for a dense network of channels.
