Rainfall Runoff Relationship Formula Elements

Variables
Surface Runoff
The Surface Runoff refers to the unconfined flow of water over the ground surface.
Symbol: Sr
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Precipitation
The Precipitation refers to the primary water input to the hydrologic cycle and is evaluated for all water budget calculations.
Symbol: P
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Runoff Losses
The Runoff Losses refers to the water that is not available to runoff due to infiltration, evaporation, transpiration and surface storage.
Symbol: L
Measurement: VolumeUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Rainfall Runoff Relationship?

Rainfall Runoff Relationship evaluator uses Surface Runoff = Precipitation-Runoff Losses to evaluate the Surface Runoff, The Rainfall Runoff Relationship formula is defined by the parameters of precipitation and losses L i.e. water not available to runoff due to infiltration, evaporation, transpiration and surface storage. Surface Runoff is denoted by Sr symbol.

FAQs on Rainfall Runoff Relationship

What is the formula to find Rainfall Runoff Relationship?
The formula of Rainfall Runoff Relationship is expressed as Surface Runoff = Precipitation-Runoff Losses. Here is an example- 0.05 = 0.05-49.95.
How to calculate Rainfall Runoff Relationship?
With Precipitation (P) & Runoff Losses (L) we can find Rainfall Runoff Relationship using the formula - Surface Runoff = Precipitation-Runoff Losses.
Can the Rainfall Runoff Relationship be negative?
No, the Rainfall Runoff Relationship, measured in Volumetric Flow Rate cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Rainfall Runoff Relationship?
Rainfall Runoff Relationship 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 Rainfall Runoff Relationship can be measured.
