Inglis Formula for Small Areas (also applicable for fan shaped catchment) Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Flood Discharge = 123.2*sqrt(Catchment Area)
Q_mp = 123.2*sqrt(A)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 2 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

Maximum Flood Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Maximum Flood discharge is the maximum volume flow rate passing through a particular location during an event.
Catchment Area - (Measured in Square Kilometer) - Catchment Area for an empirical estimation is in square kilometers to where all water flows to a single stream, river, lake or even ocean.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Catchment Area: 40.5 Square Kilometer --> 40.5 Square Kilometer No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q_mp = 123.2*sqrt(A) --> 123.2*sqrt(40.5)

Evaluating ... ...

Q_mp = 784.039998979644

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

784.039998979644 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

784.039998979644 ≈ 784.04 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Maximum Flood Discharge

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

What is Maximum Food Discharge?

In Hydrology, the term “peak discharge” stands for the highest concentration of runoff from the basin area. The concentrated flow of the basin greatly exaggerates and overtops the natural or artificial bank, and this might be called a flood.

What is Catchment Area?

A Catchment Area is a hydrological unit. Each drop of precipitation that falls into a catchment area eventually ends up in the same river going to the sea if it doesn't evaporate.

How to Calculate Inglis Formula for Small Areas (also applicable for fan shaped catchment)?
