Equation for Catchment Parameter Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Catchment Parameter = Length of Basin*Watershed Length/sqrt(Basin Slope)
C = L_b*L/sqrt(S_B)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 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

Catchment Parameter - Catchment Parameter correlated with basin lag concerning e.g. area, average catchment and watercourse slopes, main watercourse lengths and the catchment centroid.
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.
Watershed Length - (Measured in Meter) - Watershed Length is distance from outlet to watershed boundary along main channel.
Basin Slope - Basin Slope of the catchment under consideration.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Length of Basin: 30 Meter --> 30 Meter No Conversion Required

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.
