An investigation into landscape saturation has been carded out analytically using similarity parameters derived from topographic, soil, and climatic attributes. Three parameters (an input index (q/Z)(L/KS), convergence ratio (CR), and profile factor (B)) define the extent of hillslope saturation. From these, a single dimensionless parameter has been derived to describe the occurrence of saturation in planar, concave, and convex profile hillslope shapes, and with parallel, convergent, and diverge...
