Distance along Main Water Course from Gauging Station given Basin Lag Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
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.
Basin Length - (Measured in Kilometer) - Basin Length measured along the watercourse from the basin divide to the gauging station 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
Basin Length: 9.4 Kilometer --> 9.4 Kilometer No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_ca = ((t_p/C_r)^(1/0.3))*(1/L_basin) --> ((6/1.46)^(1/0.3))*(1/9.4)

Evaluating ... ...

L_ca = 11.8267875394856

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

11826.7875394856 Meter -->11.8267875394856 Kilometer (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

11.8267875394856 ≈ 11.82679 Kilometer <-- Distance along Main Water Course

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.
