Catchment Area given Peak Discharge in Jarvis formula Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Catchment Area = (Peak Discharge/Coefficient)^2
A_catchment = (Q_p/C)^2
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Catchment Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Catchment Area is an area of land where all water flows to a single stream, river, lake or even ocean.
Peak Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Peak Discharge is the maximum volume flow rate passing a particular location during an event.
Coefficient - Coefficient C varies between 1˙77 as minimum and 177 as maximum. Limiting or 100 percent chance floods are given by the value of C of 177.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Peak Discharge: 4 Cubic Meter per Second --> 4 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Coefficient: 177 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A_catchment = (Q_p/C)^2 --> (4/177)^2

Evaluating ... ...

A_catchment = 0.000510708927830445

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.000510708927830445 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.000510708927830445 ≈ 0.000511 Square Meter <-- Catchment Area

< 15 Water budget equation for a catchment Calculators

Daily Precipitation from Water Budget Continuity Equation

Go Precipitation = Daily Surface Outflow+Daily Seepage Outflow+Daily Lake Evaporation+Increase in Lake Storage in a Day+Daily Transpiration Loss-Daily Surface Inflow-Daily Groundwater Inflow

Mean annual flood proposed by natural environment research council

Go Mean Annual Flood = Constant C*Area^(0.94)*Stream Frequency^(0.27)*Slope of the Catchment^(0.16)*Soil Type Index^(1.23)*RSMD^(1.03)*(1+Area of Lakes or Reservoirs)^-0.85

Water Budget Equation for Catchment given Time Interval

Go Change in Mass Storage = Precipitation-Surface Runoff-Net Ground Water Flowing Outside Catchment-Evaporation from Water Body-Transpiration

Change in Storage of Water in Catchment

Go Change in Storage Volumes = Change in Groundwater Storage+Change in Soil Moisture Storage+Change in Groundwater Storage

Surface water storage given Storage of water in catchment

Go Change in Surface Water Storage = Storage of Water-Change in Soil Moisture Storage-Change in Groundwater Storage

Ground Water Storage given Storage of water in catchment

Go Change in Groundwater Storage = Storage of Water-Change in Surface Water Storage-Change in Soil Moisture Storage

Soil Moisture Storage given Storage of water

Go Change in Soil Moisture Storage = Storage of Water-Change in Surface Water Storage-Change in Groundwater Storage

Storage of Water in Catchment

Go Storage of Water = Change in Surface Water Storage+Change in Soil Moisture Storage+Change in Groundwater Storage

Mass outflow given Change in mass storage

Go Mass Outflow = Outflow Rate-Change in Mass Storage

Mass in flow given Change in mass storage

Go Outflow Rate = Change in Mass Storage+Mass Outflow

Continuity equation for water balance

Go Change in Mass Storage = Outflow Rate-Mass Outflow

Catchment Area given Peak Discharge in Jarvis formula

Go Catchment Area = (Peak Discharge/Coefficient)^2

Precipitation in Rainfall runoff relationship

Go Precipitation = Surface Runoff+Runoff Losses

Runoff losses in rainfall runoff relationship

Go Runoff Losses = Precipitation-Surface Runoff

Rainfall runoff relationship

Go Surface Runoff = Precipitation-Runoff Losses

Catchment Area given Peak Discharge in Jarvis formula Formula

Catchment Area = (Peak Discharge/Coefficient)^2
A_catchment = (Q_p/C)^2

What is Catchment Area in Hydrology?

A Catchment Area is a hydrological unit. Each drop of precipitation that falls into a catchment area eventually ends up in the same river going to the sea if it doesn't evaporate. However, it can take a very long time. Catchment areas are separated from each other by watersheds.

How to Calculate Catchment Area given Peak Discharge in Jarvis formula?

Catchment Area given Peak Discharge in Jarvis formula calculator uses Catchment Area = (Peak Discharge/Coefficient)^2 to calculate the Catchment Area, The Catchment Area given Peak Discharge in Jarvis formula is defined by the parameters of Peak Discharge over the Catchment area . Catchment Area is denoted by A_catchment symbol.

How to calculate Catchment Area given Peak Discharge in Jarvis formula using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Catchment Area given Peak Discharge in Jarvis formula, enter Peak Discharge (Q_p) & Coefficient (C) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Catchment Area given Peak Discharge in Jarvis formula calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.000511 = (4/177)^2.
