Area of Basin given Flood Discharge by Dicken's Formula Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Catchment Area for Flood Discharge = (Flood Discharge by Dicken's Formula/Dicken's Constant)^(4/3)
A_km = (Q_D/C_D)^(4/3)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Catchment Area for Flood Discharge - (Measured in Square Meter) - Catchment Area for Flood Discharge refers to an area of land where all water flows to a single stream, river, lake or even ocean, typically in km unit.
Flood Discharge by Dicken's Formula - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Flood Discharge by Dicken's Formula refers to the volume of water flowing through a river or stream during a flood, typically measured in (m³/s) or (cfs).
Dicken's Constant - Dicken's Constant refers to an empirical coefficient used in Dicken's formula to estimate peak flood discharge based on the area of the catchment, typically ranging from 11 to 14 in India.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Flood Discharge by Dicken's Formula: 695125.6 Cubic Meter per Second --> 695125.6 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Dicken's Constant: 11.4 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A_km = (Q_D/C_D)^(4/3) --> (695125.6/11.4)^(4/3)

Evaluating ... ...

A_km = 2400000.00241447

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2400000.00241447 Square Meter -->2.40000000241447 Square Kilometer (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

2.40000000241447 ≈ 2.4 Square Kilometer <-- Catchment Area for Flood Discharge
