Coefficient of Runoff given Stormwater 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 Rate of Runoff
Peak Rate of Runoff is the maximum rate of discharge during the period of runoff caused by a storm.
Symbol: qp
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Average Rainfall Rate
Average Rainfall Rate is a measure of the intensity of rainfall by calculating the amount of rain that would fall over a given interval of time.
Symbol: I
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Drainage Area
Drainage Area is the land region from which all precipitation flows to a common outlet, such as a river, lake, or ocean.
Symbol: A
