Catchment area when maximum flood discharge in Ryve's formula Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Catchment Area = (Maximum Flood Discharge/Ryve's Coefficient)^(1.5)
A = (Q_mp/C_R)^(1.5)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Catchment Area - (Measured in Square Kilometer) - Catchment Area for an empirical estimation is in square kilometers to where all water flows to a single stream, river, lake or even ocean.
Maximum Flood Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Maximum Flood discharge is the maximum volume flow rate passing through a particular location during an event.
Ryve's Coefficient - Ryve's Coefficient was originally developed for the Tamil Nadu region, is in use in Tamil Nadu and parts of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Flood Discharge: 88.3 Cubic Meter per Second --> 88.3 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Ryve's Coefficient: 6.8 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A = (Q_mp/C_R)^(1.5) --> (88.3/6.8)^(1.5)

Evaluating ... ...

A = 46.7926548586717

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

46792654.8586717 Square Meter -->46.7926548586717 Square Kilometer (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

46.7926548586717 ≈ 46.79265 Square Kilometer <-- Catchment Area

(Calculation completed in 00.009 seconds)

What is Catchment Area & What is Maximum Food Discharge?

A catchment Area is an area from which surface runoff is carried away by a single drainage system. The area of land bounded by watersheds draining into a river, basin or reservoir.
In Hydrology, the term “peak discharge” stands for the highest concentration of runoff from the basin area. The concentrated flow of the basin greatly exaggerates and overtops the natural or artificial bank, and this might be called a flood.

Ryves coefficient for different topography.

Ryves coefficient for different topography is as follows:
6.8-within 80km from East coast
8.5-within 80-160km from East coast
10.2-for limited area for hills.
