Slope of Catchment about given Time of Concentration Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Slope of Catchment = (Time of Concentration/(0.01947*Maximum Length of Travel of Water^0.77))^(-1/0.385)
S = (t_c/(0.01947*L^0.77))^(-1/0.385)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Slope of Catchment - Slope of Catchment depends on the stream profile, and is defined as the horizontal distance along the mainstream/the elevation difference between the two end points of the mainstream.
Time of Concentration - (Measured in Second) - Time of Concentration is a concept used in hydrology to measure the response of a watershed to a rain event.
Maximum Length of Travel of Water - (Measured in Meter) - Maximum Length of Travel of Water in the watershed.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Time of Concentration: 87 Second --> 87 Second No Conversion Required
Maximum Length of Travel of Water: 3 Kilometer --> 3000 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = (t_c/(0.01947*L^0.77))^(-1/0.385) --> (87/(0.01947*3000^0.77))^(-1/0.385)

Evaluating ... ...

S = 0.00297388961451931

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00297388961451931 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.00297388961451931 ≈ 0.002974 <-- Slope of Catchment

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is Time of Concentration?

Time of concentration is a concept used in hydrology to measure the response of a watershed to a rain event. It is defined as the time needed for water to flow from the most remote point in a watershed to the watershed outlet. It is a function of the topography, geology, and land use within the watershed.

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.

How to Calculate Slope of Catchment about given Time of Concentration?

Slope of Catchment about given Time of Concentration calculator uses Slope of Catchment = (Time of Concentration/(0.01947*Maximum Length of Travel of Water^0.77))^(-1/0.385) to calculate the Slope of Catchment, The Slope of Catchment about given Time of Concentration formula is defined as the slope for the catchment upstream of each sampling site by dividing the difference in elevation between specific points in the catchment-by-catchment length. Slope of Catchment is denoted by S symbol.

How to calculate Slope of Catchment about given Time of Concentration using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Slope of Catchment about given Time of Concentration, enter Time of Concentration (t_c) & Maximum Length of Travel of Water (L) and hit the calculate button.
