Initial Losses given W-Index evaluator uses Depression and Interception Losses = Total Storm Precipitation-Total Storm Runoff-(W-Index*Duration of Rainfall Excess) to evaluate the Depression and Interception Losses, The Initial Losses given W-Index formula is defined as considering infiltration quantity, W-Index is the average infiltration rate during the entire period of the storm. In the calculation of W-Index, the initial loss is separated from the total infiltration. Depression and Interception Losses is denoted by Ia symbol.
How to evaluate Initial Losses given W-Index using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Initial Losses given W-Index, enter Total Storm Precipitation (P), Total Storm Runoff (R), W-Index (W) & Duration of Rainfall Excess (te) and hit the calculate button.
