Precipitation in Rainfall runoff relationship Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Precipitation = Surface Runoff+Runoff Losses
P = S_r+L
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Precipitation - (Measured in Meter) - Precipitation is the primary water input to the hydrologic cycle and is evaluated for all water budget calculations.
Surface Runoff - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Surface Runoff water, from rain, snowmelt, or other sources, that flows over the land surface, and is a major component of the water cycle.
Runoff Losses - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Runoff Losses is the water that is not available to runoff due to infiltration, evaporation, transpiration and surface storage.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Surface Runoff: 0.05 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.05 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Runoff Losses: 0.25 Cubic Meter --> 0.25 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P = S_r+L --> 0.05+0.25

Evaluating ... ...

P = 0.3

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.3 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.3 Meter <-- Precipitation

< 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

Precipitation in Rainfall runoff relationship Formula

Precipitation = Surface Runoff+Runoff Losses
P = S_r+L

What is Rainfall-runoff relationship?

Rainfall-runoff relationship for any rainstorm depends on the dynamic interaction between rain intensity, soil infiltration and surface storage.

What is Runoff?

Runoff occurs whenever rain intensity exceeds the infiltration capacity of the soil, providing there are no physical obstructions to surface flow.

How to Calculate Precipitation in Rainfall runoff relationship?

Precipitation in Rainfall runoff relationship calculator uses Precipitation = Surface Runoff+Runoff Losses to calculate the Precipitation, The Precipitation in Rainfall runoff relationship is defined by the parameters Surface Runoff and Losses i.e. water not available to runoff due to infiltration, evaporation, transpiration and surface storage. Precipitation is denoted by P symbol.
