Actual Discharge from Backwater Effect on Rating Curve Normalized Curve Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Actual Discharge = Normalized Discharge*(Actual Fall/Normalized Value of Fall)^Exponent on Rating Curve
Q_a = Q₀*(F/F_o)^m
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Actual Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Actual discharge is given by the actual area and velocity.
Normalized Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Normalized Discharge at the given stage when the fall is equal to normalized value of the fall taken to be constant at all stages.
Actual Fall - (Measured in Meter) - Actual Fall at a given stage to that of the actual discharge.
Normalized Value of Fall - (Measured in Meter) - Normalized Value of Fall to be constant at all stages.
Exponent on Rating Curve - Exponent on rating curve with a value close to 0.5, Rating curve is a graph of discharge versus stage for given point on stream, usually at gauging stations.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Normalized Discharge: 7 Cubic Meter per Second --> 7 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Actual Fall: 2.5 Meter --> 2.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Normalized Value of Fall: 1.512 Meter --> 1.512 Meter No Conversion Required
Exponent on Rating Curve: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q_a = Q₀*(F/F_o)^m --> 7*(2.5/1.512)^0.5

Evaluating ... ...

Q_a = 9.00102874778869

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9.00102874778869 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

9.00102874778869 ≈ 9.001029 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Actual Discharge

What is the Backwater Effect?

A backwater is a part of a river in which there is little or no current. It can refer to a branch of a main river, which lies alongside it and then rejoins it, or to a body of water in a main river, backed up by the tide or by an obstruction such as a dam. The backwater effect transmits the secondary currents backwards, resulting in the creation of a sinuous pattern upstream from the shrinkage.
The Backwater phenomenon leads to an increase in the water surface level of upstream regions, thereby imposing the threat of submergence during flood events and affecting the longitudinal extent of the river reach.
