Catchment Area given Peak Discharge of D-h Unit Hydrograph Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Area of Catchment = (Peak discharge of a D-h Unit hydrograph/1.79)^(4/3)
A = (Q_pd/1.79)^(4/3)
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Area of Catchment - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Catchment is the geographical area from which water flows into a particular point, such as a well, stream, or reservoir.
Peak discharge of a D-h Unit hydrograph - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Peak discharge of a D-h Unit hydrograph is the maximum volume flow rate displays in a unit hydrograph.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Peak discharge of a D-h Unit hydrograph: 129031 Cubic Meter per Second --> 129031 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A = (Q_pd/1.79)^(4/3) --> (129031/1.79)^(4/3)

Evaluating ... ...

A = 3000000.83889826

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3000000.83889826 Square Meter -->3.00000083889826 Square Kilometer (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

3.00000083889826 ≈ 3.000001 Square Kilometer <-- Area of Catchment

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

What is Basin lag?

Basin lag time, defined as the elapsed time between the occurrences of the centroids of the effective rainfall and of the storm runoff hydrograph, is an important factor in determining the time to peak of the unit hydrograph and the intensity of peak discharge.

What is D-h Unit Hydrograph?

The unit hydrograph represents the lumped response of the catchment to a unit rainfall excess of D-h duration to produce a direct runoff hydrograph. It relates only the direct runoff to rainfall excess. Hence the volume of water contained in the unit hydrograph must be equal to the rainfall excess.
