Next Step Substitute values of Variables
QV=0.05m³/s+2m³/s+16.96m³/s+100mm
Next Step Convert Units
QV=0.05m³/s+2m³/s+16.96m³/s+0.1m
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
QV=0.05+2+16.96+0.1
LAST Step Evaluate
QV=19.11

Total Runoff over Catchment Formula Elements

Variables
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.
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.
Symbol: Sr
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Interflow
Interflow is the lateral movement of water in the unsaturated zone.
Symbol: I
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Baseflow
Baseflow is the portion of the streamflow that is sustained between precipitation events, fed to streams by delayed pathways.
Symbol: B
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Channel Precipitation
Channel Precipitation can be defined as the direct rainfall that falls onto surface of stream channel and other waterbodies, including throughfall from vegetation overhanging these water surfaces.
Symbol: C
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
