Peak Discharge for Field Application Formula Elements

Variables
Peak Discharge
Peak Discharge is the maximum volume flow rate passing a particular location during an event.
Symbol: Qp
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
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.
Mean Intensity of Precipitation
Mean Intensity of Precipitation (mm/hr) for a duration equal to tc and an exceedance probability P.
Symbol: itcp
Measurement: SpeedUnit: mm/h
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Drainage Area
Drainage Area is the total surface area, where the water from rain which is not absorbed into the ground flows over the ground surface, back into streams, to finally reach that point.
Symbol: AD
Measurement: AreaUnit: km²
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
