Rainfall Runoff Relationship Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Surface Runoff = Precipitation-Runoff Losses
S_r = P-L
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Surface Runoff - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Surface Runoff refers to the unconfined flow of water over the ground surface.
Precipitation - (Measured in Millimeter) - The Precipitation refers to the primary water input to the hydrologic cycle and is evaluated for all water budget calculations.
Runoff Losses - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - The Runoff Losses refers to the water that is not available to runoff due to infiltration, evaporation, transpiration and surface storage.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Precipitation: 50 Millimeter --> 50 Millimeter No Conversion Required
Runoff Losses: 49.95 Cubic Meter --> 49.95 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S_r = P-L --> 50-49.95

Evaluating ... ...

S_r = 0.0499999999999972

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0499999999999972 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0499999999999972 ≈ 0.05 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Surface Runoff

What is Rainfall-runoff relationship?

Rainfall-runoff relationship for any rainstorm depends on the dynamic interaction between rain intensity, soil infiltration and surface storage.

What is Runoff?

Runoff occurs whenever rain intensity exceeds the infiltration capacity of the soil, providing there are no physical obstructions to surface flow.

How to Calculate Rainfall Runoff Relationship?

Rainfall Runoff Relationship calculator uses Surface Runoff = Precipitation-Runoff Losses to calculate the Surface Runoff, The Rainfall Runoff Relationship formula is defined by the parameters of precipitation and losses L i.e. water not available to runoff due to infiltration, evaporation, transpiration and surface storage. Surface Runoff is denoted by S_r symbol.

How to calculate Rainfall Runoff Relationship using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Rainfall Runoff Relationship, enter Precipitation (P) & Runoff Losses (L) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Rainfall Runoff Relationship calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.05 = 0.05-49.95.

FAQ

What is Rainfall Runoff Relationship?

The Rainfall Runoff Relationship formula is defined by the parameters of precipitation and losses L i.e. water not available to runoff due to infiltration, evaporation, transpiration and surface storage and is represented as S_r = P-L or Surface Runoff = Precipitation-Runoff Losses. The Precipitation refers to the primary water input to the hydrologic cycle and is evaluated for all water budget calculations & The Runoff Losses refers to the water that is not available to runoff due to infiltration, evaporation, transpiration and surface storage.

How to calculate Rainfall Runoff Relationship?

The Rainfall Runoff Relationship formula is defined by the parameters of precipitation and losses L i.e. water not available to runoff due to infiltration, evaporation, transpiration and surface storage is calculated using Surface Runoff = Precipitation-Runoff Losses. To calculate Rainfall Runoff Relationship, you need Precipitation (P) & Runoff Losses (L). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Precipitation & Runoff Losses and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
