Distance along Main Water Course from Gauging Station to Watershed Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Distance along Main Water Course = (Basin Lag/Basin Constant/(Length of Basin/sqrt(Basin Slope))^Basin Constant 'n')^1/Basin Constant 'n'
L_ca = (t_p/C_rL/(L_b/sqrt(S_B))^n_B)^1/n_B
This formula uses 1 Functions, 6 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Distance along Main Water Course - (Measured in Meter) - Distance along Main Water Course from the gauging station to a point opposite to the watershed centroid in km.
Basin Lag - (Measured in Second) - Basin Lag is the elapsed time between the occurrences of the centroids of the effective rainfall.
Basin Constant - Basin Constant to determine the base lag with respect to basin slope.
Length of Basin - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Basin refers to the distance from one end of the basin to the other, typically measured along the longest axis.
Basin Slope - Basin Slope of the catchment under consideration.
Basin Constant 'n' - Basin Constant 'n' to determine the base lag with respect to basin slope.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Basin Lag: 6 Hour --> 21600 Second (Check conversion here)
Basin Constant: 1.03 --> No Conversion Required
Length of Basin: 30 Meter --> 30 Meter No Conversion Required
Basin Slope: 1.1 --> No Conversion Required
Basin Constant 'n': 0.38 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_ca = (t_p/C_rL/(L_b/sqrt(S_B))^n_B)^1/n_B --> (21600/1.03/(30/sqrt(1.1))^0.38)^1/0.38

Evaluating ... ...

L_ca = 15430.9073333028

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

15430.9073333028 Meter -->15.4309073333028 Kilometer (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

15.4309073333028 ≈ 15.43091 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.
