Ryves Formula for maximum flood discharge Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Flood Discharge = Ryve's Coefficient*Catchment Area^(2/3)
Q_mp = C_R*A^(2/3)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Flood Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Maximum Flood discharge is the maximum volume flow rate passing through a particular location during an event.
Ryve's Coefficient - Ryve's Coefficient was originally developed for the Tamil Nadu region, is in use in Tamil Nadu and parts of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
Catchment Area - (Measured in Square Kilometer) - Catchment Area for an empirical estimation is in square kilometers to where all water flows to a single stream, river, lake or even ocean.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Ryve's Coefficient: 6.8 --> No Conversion Required
Catchment Area: 40.5 Square Kilometer --> 40.5 Square Kilometer No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q_mp = C_R*A^(2/3) --> 6.8*40.5^(2/3)

Evaluating ... ...

Q_mp = 80.1946866627922

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

80.1946866627922 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

80.1946866627922 ≈ 80.19469 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Maximum Flood Discharge

(Calculation completed in 00.007 seconds)

What is Catchment Area & What is Maximum Food Discharge?

A catchment Area is an area from which surface runoff is carried away by a single drainage system. The area of land bounded by watersheds draining into a river, basin or reservoir.
In Hydrology, the term “peak discharge” stands for the highest concentration of runoff from the basin area. The concentrated flow of the basin greatly exaggerates and overtops the natural or artificial bank, and this might be called a flood.

Ryves coefficient for different topography.

Ryves coefficient for different topography is as follows:
6.8-within 80km from East coast
8.5-within 80-160km from East coast
10.2-for limited area for hills.
