Outflow Rate in Clark's Method and Nash Model for IUH (Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph) Formulas

Outflow Rate for a given catchment area in any interval of time is the average volume of outgoing water in unit time. And is denoted by Q. Outflow Rate is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second for Volumetric Flow Rate. Note that the value of Outflow Rate is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Outflow Rate?

Outflow Rate for a given catchment area in any interval of time is the average volume of outgoing water in unit time. Outflow Rate is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second for Volumetric Flow Rate. Note that the value of Outflow Rate is always positive.

Can the Outflow Rate be negative?

No, the Outflow Rate, measured in Volumetric Flow Rate cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Outflow Rate?

Outflow Rate 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 Outflow Rate can be measured.
