Length of Overland Flow given Inlet Time Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Overland Flow = (((Inlet Time)^(1/0.385)*Fall of Level)/0.885)^(1/3)
L_ob = (((T_i)^(1/0.385)*H)/0.885)^(1/3)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Length of Overland Flow - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Overland Flow is a length of water over the ground before it gets concentrated into certain stream channels.
Inlet Time - (Measured in Second) - Inlet Time is the time taken by water to flow overland.
Fall of Level - (Measured in Meter) - Fall of Level from the critical point to the point of mouth of drain.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Inlet Time: 94.78 Minute --> 5686.8 Second (Check conversion here)
Fall of Level: 10.05 Meter --> 10.05 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_ob = (((T_i)^(1/0.385)*H)/0.885)^(1/3) --> (((5686.8)^(1/0.385)*10.05)/0.885)^(1/3)

Evaluating ... ...

L_ob = 4005.98073616455

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4005.98073616455 Meter -->4.00598073616456 Kilometer (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

4.00598073616456 ≈ 4.005981 Kilometer <-- Length of Overland Flow

What is Overland Flow ?

Overland Flow describes the tendency of water to flow horizontally across land surfaces when rainfall has exceeded infiltration capacity and depression storage capacity.

How to Calculate Length of Overland Flow given Inlet Time?

Length of Overland Flow given Inlet Time calculator uses Length of Overland Flow = (((Inlet Time)^(1/0.385)*Fall of Level)/0.885)^(1/3) to calculate the Length of Overland Flow, The Length of Overland Flow given Inlet Time is defined as the distance water travels across the land surface before it either infiltrates into the soil or reaches a stream or river. Length of Overland Flow is denoted by L_ob symbol.

How to calculate Length of Overland Flow given Inlet Time using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Length of Overland Flow given Inlet Time, enter Inlet Time (T_i) & Fall of Level (H) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Length of Overland Flow given Inlet Time calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.003999 = (((5686.8)^(1/0.385)*10.05)/0.885)^(1/3).

FAQ

What is Length of Overland Flow given Inlet Time?

The Length of Overland Flow given Inlet Time is defined as the distance water travels across the land surface before it either infiltrates into the soil or reaches a stream or river and is represented as L_ob = (((T_i)^(1/0.385)*H)/0.885)^(1/3) or Length of Overland Flow = (((Inlet Time)^(1/0.385)*Fall of Level)/0.885)^(1/3). Inlet Time is the time taken by water to flow overland & Fall of Level from the critical point to the point of mouth of drain.

How to calculate Length of Overland Flow given Inlet Time?

The Length of Overland Flow given Inlet Time is defined as the distance water travels across the land surface before it either infiltrates into the soil or reaches a stream or river is calculated using Length of Overland Flow = (((Inlet Time)^(1/0.385)*Fall of Level)/0.885)^(1/3). To calculate Length of Overland Flow given Inlet Time, you need Inlet Time (T_i) & Fall of Level (H). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Inlet Time & Fall of Level and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
