Standard Duration of Effective Rainfall given Modified Basin Lag Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Standard Duration of Effective Rainfall = Non-standard rainfall duration-4*(Modified Basin Lag-Basin Lag)
t_r = t_R-4*(t'_p-t_p)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Standard Duration of Effective Rainfall - (Measured in Second) - Standard Duration of Effective Rainfall as adopted by Snyder.
Non-standard rainfall duration - (Measured in Second) - Non-standard rainfall duration to derive modified basin lag.
Modified Basin Lag - (Measured in Second) - Modified Basin Lag for an effective duration rainfall.
Basin Lag - (Measured in Second) - Basin Lag is the elapsed time between the occurrences of the centroids of the effective rainfall.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Non-standard rainfall duration: 2 Hour --> 7200 Second (Check conversion here)
Modified Basin Lag: 6.22 Hour --> 22392 Second (Check conversion here)
Basin Lag: 6 Hour --> 21600 Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_r = t_R-4*(t'_p-t_p) --> 7200-4*(22392-21600)

Evaluating ... ...

t_r = 4032

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4032 Second -->1.12 Hour (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1.12 Hour <-- Standard Duration of Effective Rainfall

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

t_r = t_R-4*(t'_p-t_p)

What is Lag Time in hydrology?

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 individual storm event. This increases lag time. The peak discharge is also lower as it takes water longer to reach the river channel.

What is Baseflow?

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.
