Phi Index for Practical Use Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Φ-Index = (Intensity of Rainfall-Runoff in Cm from 24h Rainfall)/24
φ = (I-R_24-h)/24
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Φ-Index - Φ-Index of a catchment is the constant infiltration capacity that would yield the actual total runoff for a given rainfall amount.
Intensity of Rainfall - (Measured in Centimeter per Hour) - Intensity of Rainfall is the ratio of the total amount of rain (rainfall depth) falling during a given period to the duration of the period.
Runoff in Cm from 24h Rainfall - (Measured in Centimeter) - Runoff in Cm from 24h Rainfall of intensity in centimeters per hour (cm/hr).

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Intensity of Rainfall: 0.8 Centimeter per Hour --> 0.8 Centimeter per Hour No Conversion Required
Runoff in Cm from 24h Rainfall: 0.13 Centimeter --> 0.13 Centimeter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

φ = (I-R_24-h)/24 --> (0.8-0.13)/24

Evaluating ... ...

φ = 0.0279166666666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0279166666666667 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0279166666666667 ≈ 0.027917 <-- Φ-Index

What is φ-Index?

The φ index of a catchment is defined as the constant infiltration capacity that would yield the actual total runoff for a given rainfall amount. In principle, the magnitude of the φ index is bounded between the maximum and minimum average infiltration capacities of the catchment during a rainfall event.
