Time of Concentration given Time of Peak Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Time of Concentration = (Time of Peak-(Standard Duration of Effective Rainfall/2))/0.6
t_c = (T_p-(t_r/2))/0.6
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

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.
Time of Peak - (Measured in Second) - Time of Peak is the time interval from the start of rainfall to the peak discharge.
Standard Duration of Effective Rainfall - (Measured in Second) - Standard Duration of Effective Rainfall as adopted by Snyder.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Time of Peak: 7 Hour --> 25200 Second (Check conversion here)
Standard Duration of Effective Rainfall: 2 Hour --> 7200 Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_c = (T_p-(t_r/2))/0.6 --> (25200-(7200/2))/0.6

Evaluating ... ...

t_c = 36000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

36000 Second -->10 Hour (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

10 Hour <-- Time of Concentration

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Time of Peak or Time of Rise

LaTeX Go Time of Peak = (Standard Duration of Effective Rainfall/2)+Basin Lag

Lag Time given Time of Peak

LaTeX Go Basin Lag = Time of Peak-Standard Duration of Effective Rainfall/2

Time of Recession as Suggested in SCS

LaTeX Go Time of Recession = 1.67*Time of Peak

Time of Peak given Time of Recession

LaTeX Go Time of Peak = Time of Recession/1.67

Time of Concentration given Time of Peak Formula

LaTeX Go

Time of Concentration = (Time of Peak-(Standard Duration of Effective Rainfall/2))/0.6
t_c = (T_p-(t_r/2))/0.6

What is Basin Lag?

Basin lag time, defined as the elapsed time between the occurrences of the centroids of the effective rainfall. and of the storm runoff hydrograph, is an important factor in determining the time to peak of the unit. hydrograph and the intensity of peak discharge.

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.

How to Calculate Time of Concentration given Time of Peak?

Time of Concentration given Time of Peak calculator uses Time of Concentration = (Time of Peak-(Standard Duration of Effective Rainfall/2))/0.6 to calculate the Time of Concentration, The Time of Concentration given Time of Peak formula is defined as the concept used in hydrology to measure the response of a watershed to a rain event. Time of Concentration is denoted by t_c symbol.

How to calculate Time of Concentration given Time of Peak using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Time of Concentration given Time of Peak, enter Time of Peak (T_p) & Standard Duration of Effective Rainfall (t_r) and hit the calculate button.
