W-Index given Runoff Coefficient Formula Elements

Variables
W-Index
W-Index refers to the uniform rate of infiltration during a rainstorm after initial infiltration capacity has decreased, typically measured in cm/h.
Symbol: W
Measurement: SpeedUnit: cm/h
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Intensity of Rainfall
Intensity of Rainfall is defined as the ratio of the total amount of rain (rainfall depth) falling during a given period to the duration of the period.
Symbol: I
Measurement: SpeedUnit: mm/min
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Runoff Coefficient
Runoff Coefficient is a dimensionless coefficient relating the amount of runoff to the amount of precipitation received.
Symbol: Cr
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
