Precipitation given Maximum Potential Runoff Formula Elements

Variables
Total Precipitation
Total Precipitation is the sum of rainfall and the assumed water equivalent of snowfall for a given year.
Symbol: PT
Measurement: VolumeUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Maximum Potential Runoff
Maximum Potential Runoff is generated when the movement of water into the soil is slow enough to result in water flow along the land surface and into water bodies.
Symbol: Rmax
Measurement: VolumeUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Initial Abstraction
Initial Abstraction is a parameter that accounts for all losses prior to runoff and consists mainly of interception, infiltration, evaporation, and surface depression storage.
Symbol: Ia
Measurement: VolumeUnit:
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
