STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Φ-Index = (Total Storm Precipitation-Total Direct Runoff)/Duration of Rainfall Excess
φ = (P-Rd)/te
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Φ-Index - Φ-Index of a catchment is the constant infiltration capacity that would yield the actual total runoff for a given rainfall amount.
Total Storm Precipitation - (Measured in Centimeter) - Total Storm Precipitation is the annual precipitation of the current year.
Total Direct Runoff - (Measured in Centimeter) - Total Direct Runoff is the runoff entering stream channels promptly after rainfall or snowmelt.
Duration of Rainfall Excess - (Measured in Hour) - Duration of Rainfall Excess is the total time in which the rainfall intensity the greater than the average rate of infiltration (in hours).
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Total Storm Precipitation: 118 Centimeter --> 118 Centimeter No Conversion Required
Total Direct Runoff: 117.88 Centimeter --> 117.88 Centimeter No Conversion Required
Duration of Rainfall Excess: 4 Hour --> 4 Hour No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
φ = (P-Rd)/te --> (118-117.88)/4
Evaluating ... ...
φ = 0.0300000000000011
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.0300000000000011 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.0300000000000011 0.03 <-- Φ-Index

φ = (P-Rd)/te

What is Runoff?

Runoff is the flow of water occurring on the ground surface when excess rainwater, storm water, meltwater, or other sources, can no longer sufficiently rapidly infiltrate in the soil.

What is φ-Index?

The φ-Index of a catchment is defined as the constant infiltration capacity that would yield the actual total runoff for a given rainfall amount. In principle, the magnitude of the φ index is bounded between the catchment's maximum and minimum average infiltration capacities during a rainfall event.
