Dredge or Burge Formula Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Peak Discharge = 19.6*Catchment Area/(Length of Basin)^(2/3)
Qp = 19.6*Acatchment/(Lb)^(2/3)
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Peak Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Peak Discharge is the maximum volume flow rate passing a particular location during an event.
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.
Length of Basin - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Basin or length of the drainage basin in kilometres.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Catchment Area: 2 Square Meter --> 2 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Length of Basin: 30 Meter --> 30 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Qp = 19.6*Acatchment/(Lb)^(2/3) --> 19.6*2/(30)^(2/3)
Evaluating ... ...
Qp = 4.06011714111304
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
4.06011714111304 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
4.06011714111304 4.060117 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Peak Discharge
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

5 Precipitation Calculators

Total Runoff over Catchment
Go Runoff Volume = Surface Runoff+Interflow+Baseflow+Channel Precipitation
Correction Ratio in Test for Consistency of Record
Go Correction Ratio = Corrected Slope of Double-Mass Curve/Original Slope of Double-Mass Curve
Depth of rainfall given volume of rainfall
Go Depth of Rainfall = Volume of Rainfall/Area of Accumulated Rain
Volume of rainfall
Go Volume of Rainfall = Area of Accumulated Rain*Depth of Rainfall
Dredge or Burge Formula
Go Peak Discharge = 19.6*Catchment Area/(Length of Basin)^(2/3)

Dredge or Burge Formula Formula

Peak Discharge = 19.6*Catchment Area/(Length of Basin)^(2/3)
Qp = 19.6*Acatchment/(Lb)^(2/3)

What is Catchment Area?

A catchment area is the area from which rainfall flows into a river, lake, or reservoir. The catchment area is the first point of contact for rainfall. For the vast majority of tank-based rainwater harvesting systems, the catchment area is the roof surface. 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.

What is Total Runoff & Amount of Rainfall?

The total runoff is equal to the total precipitation less the losses caused by evapotranspiration (loss to the atmosphere from soil surfaces and plant leaves), storage (as in temporary ponds), and other such abstractions.
The amount of rainfall is usually given as a depth over a specified area, assuming that all the rainfall accumulates over the surface and the unit for measuring the amount of rainfall.
