Duration of Rainfall Excess given W Index Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Duration of Rainfall Excess = (Total Storm Precipitation-Total Storm Runoff-Depression and Interception Losses)/W-Index
t_e = (P-R-I_a)/W
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Duration of Rainfall Excess - (Measured in Hour) - Duration of Rainfall Excess is the total time in which the rainfall intensity the greater than the average rate of infiltration (in hours).
Total Storm Precipitation - (Measured in Centimeter) - Total Storm Precipitation is the annual precipitation of the current year.
Total Storm Runoff - (Measured in Centimeter) - Total Storm Runoff is rain that flows off building rooftops, driveways, lawns, streets, parking lots, construction sites, and industrial storage yards.
Depression and Interception Losses - (Measured in Centimeter) - Depression and Interception Losses is the portion of the precipitation that is returned to the atmosphere through evaporation from plant surfaces .
W-Index - (Measured in Centimeter) - W-Index is the average infiltration rate during the time when the rainfall intensity exceeds the infiltration rate.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Storm Precipitation: 118 Centimeter --> 118 Centimeter No Conversion Required
Total Storm Runoff: 48 Centimeter --> 48 Centimeter No Conversion Required
Depression and Interception Losses: 6 Centimeter --> 6 Centimeter No Conversion Required
W-Index: 16 Centimeter --> 16 Centimeter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_e = (P-R-I_a)/W --> (118-48-6)/16

Evaluating ... ...

t_e = 4

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

14400 Second -->4 Hour (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

4 Hour <-- Duration of Rainfall Excess

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

Total Storm Precipitation when W Index

LaTeX Go Total Storm Precipitation = (W-Index*Duration of Rainfall Excess)+Total Storm Runoff+Depression and Interception Losses

Total Storm Runoff given W Index

LaTeX Go Total Storm Runoff = Total Storm Precipitation-Depression and Interception Losses-(W-Index*Duration of Rainfall Excess)

Initial Losses given W-Index

LaTeX Go Depression and Interception Losses = Total Storm Precipitation-Total Storm Runoff-(W-Index*Duration of Rainfall Excess)

W-Index

LaTeX Go W-Index = (Total Storm Precipitation-Total Storm Runoff-Depression and Interception Losses)/Duration of Rainfall Excess

Duration of Rainfall Excess given W Index Formula

LaTeX Go

Duration of Rainfall Excess = (Total Storm Precipitation-Total Storm Runoff-Depression and Interception Losses)/W-Index
t_e = (P-R-I_a)/W

What is W-Index?

W-Index is the average infiltration rate during the time when the rainfall intensity exceeds the infiltration rate. Thus, W may be mathematically calculated by dividing the total infiltration. (expressed as a depth of water) divided by the time during which the rainfall occurs.

What is W_min?

The minimum value of the W-index obtained under very wet soil conditions, representing the constant minimum rate of infiltration of the catchment, is known as W_min

How to Calculate Duration of Rainfall Excess given W Index?

Duration of Rainfall Excess given W Index calculator uses Duration of Rainfall Excess = (Total Storm Precipitation-Total Storm Runoff-Depression and Interception Losses)/W-Index to calculate the Duration of Rainfall Excess, The Duration of Rainfall Excess given W Index formula is defined as the time during which continuous rain is observed, or occurs, at a given point or within a given area. Duration of Rainfall Excess is denoted by t_e symbol.

How to calculate Duration of Rainfall Excess given W Index using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Duration of Rainfall Excess given W Index, enter Total Storm Precipitation (P), Total Storm Runoff (R), Depression and Interception Losses (I_a) & W-Index (W) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Duration of Rainfall Excess given W Index calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.001111 = (1.18-0.48-0.06)/0.16.
