Drainage Area given Stormwater Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Drainage Area = Peak Rate of Runoff/(Runoff Coefficient*Average Rainfall Rate)
A = q_p/(C_r*I)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Drainage Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Drainage Area is the land region from which all precipitation flows to a common outlet, such as a river, lake, or ocean.
Peak Rate of Runoff - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Peak Rate of Runoff is the maximum rate of discharge during the period of runoff caused by a storm.
Runoff Coefficient - Runoff Coefficient is a dimensionless coefficient relating the amount of runoff to the amount of precipitation received.
Average Rainfall Rate - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Average Rainfall Rate is a measure of the intensity of rainfall by calculating the amount of rain that would fall over a given interval of time.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Peak Rate of Runoff: 1.256 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.256 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Runoff Coefficient: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
Average Rainfall Rate: 0.05 Meter per Second --> 0.05 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A = q_p/(C_r*I) --> 1.256/(0.5*0.05)

Evaluating ... ...

A = 50.24

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

50.24 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

50.24 Square Meter <-- Drainage Area

What is Stormwater?

Storm water is water that originates from rain, including snow and ice melt. Stormwater can soak into the soil (infiltrate), be stored on the land surface in ponds and puddles, evaporate, or contribute to surface runoff.

How to Calculate Drainage Area given Stormwater?

Drainage Area given Stormwater calculator uses Drainage Area = Peak Rate of Runoff/(Runoff Coefficient*Average Rainfall Rate) to calculate the Drainage Area, The Drainage Area given Stormwater formula is defined as the total surface area, upstream of a point on a stream, where the water from rain, snowmelt, or irrigation which is not absorbed into the ground flows over the ground surface, back into streams, to finally reach that point. Drainage Area is denoted by A symbol.

How to calculate Drainage Area given Stormwater using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Drainage Area given Stormwater, enter Peak Rate of Runoff (q_p), Runoff Coefficient (C_r) & Average Rainfall Rate (I) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Drainage Area given Stormwater calculation can be explained with given input values -> 50.24 = 1.256/(0.5*0.05).

FAQ

What is Drainage Area given Stormwater?

The Drainage Area given Stormwater formula is defined as the total surface area, upstream of a point on a stream, where the water from rain, snowmelt, or irrigation which is not absorbed into the ground flows over the ground surface, back into streams, to finally reach that point and is represented as A = q_p/(C_r*I) or Drainage Area = Peak Rate of Runoff/(Runoff Coefficient*Average Rainfall Rate). Peak Rate of Runoff is the maximum rate of discharge during the period of runoff caused by a storm, Runoff Coefficient is a dimensionless coefficient relating the amount of runoff to the amount of precipitation received & Average Rainfall Rate is a measure of the intensity of rainfall by calculating the amount of rain that would fall over a given interval of time.

How to calculate Drainage Area given Stormwater?

The Drainage Area given Stormwater formula is defined as the total surface area, upstream of a point on a stream, where the water from rain, snowmelt, or irrigation which is not absorbed into the ground flows over the ground surface, back into streams, to finally reach that point is calculated using Drainage Area = Peak Rate of Runoff/(Runoff Coefficient*Average Rainfall Rate). To calculate Drainage Area given Stormwater, you need Peak Rate of Runoff (q_p), Runoff Coefficient (C_r) & Average Rainfall Rate (I). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Peak Rate of Runoff, Runoff Coefficient & Average Rainfall Rate and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
