Surface Runoff in Engineering Hydrology Formulas

Surface Runoff water, from rain, snowmelt, or other sources, that flows over the land surface, and is a major component of the water cycle. And is denoted by S_r. Surface Runoff is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second for Volumetric Flow Rate. Note that the value of Surface Runoff is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Surface Runoff?

Surface Runoff water, from rain, snowmelt, or other sources, that flows over the land surface, and is a major component of the water cycle. Surface Runoff is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second for Volumetric Flow Rate. Note that the value of Surface Runoff is always positive.

Can the Surface Runoff be negative?

No, the Surface Runoff, measured in Volumetric Flow Rate cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Surface Runoff?

Surface Runoff 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 Surface Runoff can be measured.
