Modified Basin Lag given Peak Discharge for Nonstandard Effective Rainfall Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Modified Basin Lag = 2.78*Regional Constant*Area of Catchment/Peak Discharge
t'_p = 2.78*C_r*A/Q_p
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Modified Basin Lag - (Measured in Second) - Modified Basin Lag for an effective duration rainfall.
Regional Constant - Regional Constant representing watershed slope and storage effect.
Area of Catchment - (Measured in Square Kilometer) - Area of Catchment is the geographical area from which water flows into a particular point, such as a well, stream, or reservoir.
Peak Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Peak Discharge is the maximum volume flow rate passing a particular location during an event.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Regional Constant: 1.46 --> No Conversion Required
Area of Catchment: 3 Square Kilometer --> 3 Square Kilometer No Conversion Required
Peak Discharge: 0.891 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.891 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t'_p = 2.78*C_r*A/Q_p --> 2.78*1.46*3/0.891

Evaluating ... ...

What is Lag Time in hydrology?

The lag time is the delay between the maximum rainfall amount and the peak discharge. The shape of a hydrograph varies in each river basin and each storm event. This increases lag time. The peak discharge is also lower as it takes water longer to reach the river channel.

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.
