Coefficient of Runoff given Peak Rate of Runoff Formula Elements

Variables
Runoff Coefficient
Runoff Coefficient is a dimensionless coefficient relating the amount of runoff to the amount of precipitation received.
Symbol: Cr
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Peak Drainage Discharge by Rational Formula
The Peak Drainage Discharge by Rational Formula estimates stormwater runoff using parameters such as rainfall intensity, catchment area, and runoff coefficient to determine the maximum flow rate.
Symbol: QR
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Area of Catchment
Area of Catchment refers to the area of land where all water flows to a single stream, river, lake or even ocean.
Symbol: Ac
Measurement: AreaUnit: ha
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Critical Rainfall Intensity
Critical Rainfall Intensity is the precipitation rate at which surface runoff initiates, leading to increased risk of flooding or other hydrological hazards.
Symbol: Pc
