Regional Constant representing Watershed Slope and Storage Effects Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Regional Constant = Basin Lag/(Length of Basin*Distance along Main Water Course)^0.3
C_r = t_p/(L_b*L_ca)^0.3
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Regional Constant - Regional Constant representing watershed slope and storage effect.
Basin Lag - (Measured in Hour) - Basin Lag is the elapsed time between the occurrences of the centroids of the effective rainfall.
Length of Basin - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Basin refers to the distance from one end of the basin to the other, typically measured along the longest axis.
Distance along Main Water Course - (Measured in Meter) - Distance along Main Water Course from the gauging station to a point opposite to the watershed centroid in km.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Basin Lag: 6 Hour --> 6 Hour No Conversion Required
Length of Basin: 30 Meter --> 30 Meter No Conversion Required
Distance along Main Water Course: 12 Kilometer --> 12000 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_r = t_p/(L_b*L_ca)^0.3 --> 6/(30*12000)^0.3

Evaluating ... ...

C_r = 0.129199400995563

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.129199400995563 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.129199400995563 ≈ 0.129199 <-- Regional Constant

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.
