What is the Backwater Effect?
A backwater is a part of a river in which there is little or no current. It can refer to a branch of a main river, which lies alongside it and then rejoins it, or to a body of water in a main river, backed up by the tide or by an obstruction such as a dam. The backwater effect transmits the secondary currents backwards, resulting in the creation of a sinuous pattern upstream from the shrinkage.
The Backwater phenomenon leads to an increase in the water surface level of upstream regions, thereby imposing the threat of submergence during flood events and affecting the longitudinal extent of the river reach.
How to Calculate Normalized Discharge of Backwater Effect on Rating Curve Normalized Curve?
Normalized Discharge of Backwater Effect on Rating Curve Normalized Curve calculator uses Normalized Discharge = Actual Discharge*(Normalized Value of Fall/Actual Fall)^Exponent on Rating Curve to calculate the Normalized Discharge, The Normalized Discharge of Backwater Effect on Rating Curve Normalized Curve formula is defined as the normalized flow rate at the given stage when the fall is equal to the normalized fall taken to be constant at all stages. Normalized Discharge is denoted by Q0 symbol.
How to calculate Normalized Discharge of Backwater Effect on Rating Curve Normalized Curve using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Normalized Discharge of Backwater Effect on Rating Curve Normalized Curve, enter Actual Discharge (Qa), Normalized Value of Fall (Fo), Actual Fall (F) & Exponent on Rating Curve (m) and hit the calculate button.
