Regional Constant given Peak Discharge for Nonstandard Effective Rainfall Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Peak Discharge: 0.891 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.891 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Modified Basin Lag: 6.22 Hour --> 6.22 Hour No Conversion Required
Area of Catchment: 3 Square Kilometer --> 3 Square Kilometer No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_p = Q_p*t'_p/(2.78*A) --> 0.891*6.22/(2.78*3)

Evaluating ... ...

C_p = 0.664510791366906

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.664510791366906 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.664510791366906 ≈ 0.664511 <-- Regional Constant (Snyder)

What is Lag time in hydrology and Baseflow?

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.
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.

What is the Catchment Area of a river?

A water catchment (commonly referred to as a “watershed”) is an area of land where all water flows to a single stream, river, lake or even ocean. Natural boundaries of water catchments can be very small for a single creek or stream or quite large—the Colorado River basin for example.
