Coefficient of Runoff given Peak Rate of Runoff Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Runoff Coefficient = (36*Peak Drainage Discharge by Rational Formula)/(Area of Catchment*Critical Rainfall Intensity)
Cr = (36*QR)/(Ac*Pc)
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Runoff Coefficient - Runoff Coefficient is a dimensionless coefficient relating the amount of runoff to the amount of precipitation received.
Peak Drainage Discharge by Rational Formula - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The peak drainage discharge by Rational Formula estimates stormwater runoff using parameters such as rainfall intensity, catchment area, and runoff coefficient to determine the maximum flow rate.
Area of Catchment - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Catchment is an area of land where all water flows to a single stream, river, lake or even ocean.
Critical Rainfall Intensity - (Measured in Centimeter per Hour) - Critical rainfall intensity is the precipitation rate at which surface runoff initiates, leading to increased risk of flooding or other hydrological hazards.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Peak Drainage Discharge by Rational Formula: 4166.67 Cubic Meter per Second --> 4166.67 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Area of Catchment: 15 Hectare --> 150000 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Critical Rainfall Intensity: 2.01 Centimeter per Hour --> 2.01 Centimeter per Hour No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Cr = (36*QR)/(Ac*Pc) --> (36*4166.67)/(150000*2.01)
Evaluating ... ...
Cr = 0.497512835820896
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.497512835820896 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.497512835820896 0.497513 <-- Runoff Coefficient

What is Runoff Coefficient ?

The runoff coefficient (C) is a dimension less coefficient relating the amount of runoff to the amount of precipitation received. It is a larger value for areas with low infiltration and high runoff (pavement, steep gradient), and lower for permeable, well vegetated areas (forest, flat land).
