This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Flood Discharge by Creager's Formula - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Flood Discharge by Creager's Formula refers to the volume of water flowing through a river or stream during a flood, typically measured in (m³/s) or (cfs).
Creager Constant - Creager Constant refers to an empirical coefficient used in Creager's formula to estimate peak flood discharge, adjusting for regional hydrological characteristics.
Area of Basin - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Basin refers to the surface area of a drainage basin or watershed, crucial for hydrological and flood analysis.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Creager Constant: 60 --> No Conversion Required
Area of Basin: 2.6 Square Mile --> 6733969.0868736 Square Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q_c = 46*C_c*(A₁)^(0.894*A₁^(-0.084)) --> 46*60*(6733969.0868736)^(0.894*6733969.0868736^(-0.084))

Evaluating ... ...

Q_c = 117619.921558156

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

117619.921558156 Cubic Meter per Second -->4153708.32958408 Cubic Foot per Second (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

4153708.32958408 ≈ 4.2E+6 Cubic Foot per Second <-- Flood Discharge by Creager's Formula
