Basin Length Measured along Water Course given Basin Lag Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Basin Length = (Basin Lag/Regional Constant)^1/0.3*(1/Distance along Main Water Course)
L_basin = (t_p/C_r)^1/0.3*(1/L_ca)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Basin Length - (Measured in Kilometer) - Basin Length measured along the watercourse from the basin divide to the gauging station in km.
Basin Lag - (Measured in Hour) - Basin Lag is the elapsed time between the occurrences of the centroids of the effective rainfall.
Regional Constant - Regional Constant representing watershed slope and storage effect.
Distance along Main Water Course - (Measured in Kilometer) - Distance along Main Water Course from the gauging station to a point opposite to the watershed centroid in km.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Basin Lag: 6 Hour --> 6 Hour No Conversion Required
Regional Constant: 1.46 --> No Conversion Required
Distance along Main Water Course: 12 Kilometer --> 12 Kilometer No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_basin = (t_p/C_r)^1/0.3*(1/L_ca) --> (6/1.46)^1/0.3*(1/12)

Evaluating ... ...

L_basin = 1.14155251141553

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1141.55251141553 Meter -->1.14155251141553 Kilometer (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1.14155251141553 ≈ 1.141553 Kilometer <-- Basin Length

What is Baseflow?

Baseflow is a portion of streamflow that is not directly generated from the excess rainfall during a storm event. In other words, this is the flow that would exist in the stream without the contribution of direct runoff from the rainfall.
