Peak Rate of Runoff given Sediment Yield from Individual Storm Formula Elements

Variables
Peak Rate of Runoff
Peak Rate of Runoff is the maximum rate of discharge during the period of runoff caused by a storm.
Symbol: qp
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Sediment Yield from an Individual Storm
Sediment Yield from an Individual Storm is the amount of sediment leaving the watershed or catchment, and gross erosion is defined as the absolute amount of erosion occurring within the catchment.
Symbol: Y
Measurement: WeightUnit: kg
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Soil Erodibility Factor
Soil Erodibility Factor is the intrinsic susceptibility of a soil to erosion by runoff and raindrop impact.
Symbol: K
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Topographic factor
Topographic Factor also called indirect factors as they influence the growth and development of organisms by bringing variations in climatic factors.
Symbol: Kzt
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Cover Management Factor
Cover Management Factor reflects the effect of cropping and management practices on erosion rates.
Symbol: C
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Support Practice Factor
Support Practice Factor is the ratio of soil loss with a support practice like strip cropping to that with a straight row farming up and down the slope.
Symbol: P
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Runoff Volume
Runoff Volume is the average amount of water that flows down a particular river, per year, expressed as a volume of water flowing past a given point.
Symbol: QV
Measurement: VolumeUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
