Abstract
This paper focuses only on the technical details of the usage and creation of PDD. More details on the theory can be found in the papers written by (1998) and (2000). The Potential Drainage Density index, abbreviated as PDD, can be used for geomorphologic, pedologic and geologic characterisation of the landscape.
