W-Index given Runoff Coefficient Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

W-Index = Intensity of Rainfall*(1-Runoff Coefficient)
W = I*(1-C_r)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

W-Index - (Measured in Millimeter per Minute) - W-Index refers to the uniform rate of infiltration during a rainstorm after initial infiltration capacity has decreased, typically measured in cm/h.
Intensity of Rainfall - (Measured in Millimeter per Minute) - Intensity of Rainfall is defined as the ratio of the total amount of rain (rainfall depth) falling during a given period to the duration of the period.
Runoff Coefficient - Runoff Coefficient is a dimensionless coefficient relating the amount of runoff to the amount of precipitation received.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Intensity of Rainfall: 16 Millimeter per Minute --> 16 Millimeter per Minute No Conversion Required
Runoff Coefficient: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W = I*(1-C_r) --> 16*(1-0.5)

Evaluating ... ...

W = 8

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.000133333333333333 Meter per Second -->48 Centimeter per Hour (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

48 Centimeter per Hour <-- W-Index

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

W-Index given Runoff Coefficient Formula

LaTeX Go

W-Index = Intensity of Rainfall*(1-Runoff Coefficient)
W = I*(1-C_r)

What is w Index ?

The "W index is actually the average rate of infiltration and it is when the intensity of the rainfall increase and go beyond the rate of infiltration .
