Dicken's Formula for Maximum Flood Discharge in North-Indian Hilly Regions Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Flood Discharge = Dickens's Constant for North India hilly regions*Catchment Area^(3/4)
Q_mp = C_NH*A^(3/4)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Flood Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Maximum Flood discharge is the maximum volume flow rate passing through a particular location during an event.
Dickens's Constant for North India hilly regions - Dickens's Constant for North India hilly regions refers to extreme weather variations, especially in winter, as described by Charles Dickens.
Catchment Area - (Measured in Square Kilometer) - Catchment Area for an empirical estimation is in square kilometers to where all water flows to a single stream, river, lake or even ocean.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dickens's Constant for North India hilly regions: 12 --> No Conversion Required
Catchment Area: 40.5 Square Kilometer --> 40.5 Square Kilometer No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q_mp = C_NH*A^(3/4) --> 12*40.5^(3/4)

Evaluating ... ...

Q_mp = 192.651552630441

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

192.651552630441 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

192.651552630441 ≈ 192.6516 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Maximum Flood Discharge

(Calculation completed in 00.006 seconds)

What is Catchment Area?

A catchment area is an area from which surface runoff is carried away by a single drainage system. The area of land bounded by watersheds draining into a river, basin or reservoir.

What is Maximum Food 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 exaggerates and overtops the natural or artificial bank, and this might be called a flood.
