Equilibrium Discharge in Engineering Hydrology Formulas

Equilibrium Discharge is the steady flow rate that a well can sustain from an aquifer over an extended period without causing significant drawdown or depletion of the aquifer. And is denoted by Q_s. Equilibrium Discharge is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second for Volumetric Flow Rate. Note that the value of Equilibrium Discharge is always negative.

FAQ

What is the Equilibrium Discharge?

Equilibrium Discharge is the steady flow rate that a well can sustain from an aquifer over an extended period without causing significant drawdown or depletion of the aquifer. Equilibrium Discharge is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second for Volumetric Flow Rate. Note that the value of Equilibrium Discharge is always negative.

Can the Equilibrium Discharge be negative?

Yes, the Equilibrium Discharge, measured in Volumetric Flow Rate can be negative.

What unit is used to measure Equilibrium Discharge?

Equilibrium Discharge is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second[m³/s] for Volumetric Flow Rate. Cubic Meter per Day[m³/s], Cubic Meter per Hour[m³/s], Cubic Meter per Minute[m³/s] are the few other units in which Equilibrium Discharge can be measured.
