FAQ
What is the Peak Discharge?
Peak Discharge is the maximum volume flow rate passing a particular location during an event. Peak Discharge is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second for Volumetric Flow Rate. Note that the value of Peak Discharge is always positive.
Can the Peak Discharge be negative?
No, the Peak Discharge, measured in Volumetric Flow Rate cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Peak Discharge?
Peak 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 Peak Discharge can be measured.
