Peak Discharge for Nonstandard Effective Rainfall Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

Peak Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Peak Discharge is the maximum volume flow rate passing a particular location during an event.
Regional Constant (Snyder) - Regional Constant (Snyder) is considered an indication of the retention and storage capacity of the watershed.
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.
Modified Basin Lag - (Measured in Hour) - Modified Basin Lag for an effective duration rainfall.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Regional Constant (Snyder): 0.6 --> No Conversion Required
Area of Catchment: 3 Square Kilometer --> 3 Square Kilometer No Conversion Required
Modified Basin Lag: 6.22 Hour --> 6.22 Hour No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q_p = 2.78*C_p*A/t'_p --> 2.78*0.6*3/6.22

Evaluating ... ...

Q_p = 0.804501607717042

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.804501607717042 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.804501607717042 ≈ 0.804502 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Peak Discharge

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 individual 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.
