What is Maximum Flood Discharge?

In Hydrology, the term “peak discharge” stands for the highest concentration of runoff from the basin area. The concentrated flow of the basin greatly exaggerated and overtops the natural or artificial bank and this might be called flood.

How to Calculate Baird and Mcillwraith Formula for maximum flood discharge?
