Discharge in Environmental Engineering Formulas

Discharge refers to the volume of wastewater flowing through the sewer system per unit of time. It is usually measured in cubic meters per second (m³/s) or liters per second (L/s). And is denoted by Q. Discharge is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second for Volumetric Flow Rate. Note that the value of Discharge is always negative.
