Sediment Yield from Individual Storm Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Sediment Yield from an individual storm = 11.8*((Runoff Volume*Peak Rate of Runoff)^0.56)*Soil Erodibility Factor*Topographic factor*Cover Management Factor*Support Practice Factor
Y = 11.8*((QV*qp)^0.56)*K*Kzt*C*P
This formula uses 7 Variables
Variables Used
Sediment Yield from an individual storm - (Measured in Kilogram) - Sediment Yield from an individual storm is the amount of sediment leaving the watershed or catchment, and gross erosion is defined as the absolute amount of erosion occurring within the catchment.
Runoff Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Runoff Volume is the average amount of water that flows down a particular river, per year, expressed as a volume of water flowing past a given point.
Peak Rate of Runoff - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Peak Rate of Runoff is the maximum rate of discharge during the period of runoff caused by a storm.
Soil Erodibility Factor - Soil Erodibility Factor is the intrinsic susceptibility of a soil to erosion by runoff and raindrop impact.
Topographic factor - Topographic factor are also called indirect factors as they influence the growth and development of organisms by bringing variations in climatic factors.
Cover Management Factor - Cover Management Factor reflects the effect of cropping and management practices on erosion rates.
Support Practice Factor - Support Practice Factor is the ratio of soil loss with a support practice like strip cropping to that with a straight row farming up and down the slope.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Runoff Volume: 19.5 Cubic Meter --> 19.5 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Peak Rate of Runoff: 1.256 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.256 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Soil Erodibility Factor: 0.17 --> No Conversion Required
Topographic factor: 25 --> No Conversion Required
Cover Management Factor: 0.61 --> No Conversion Required
Support Practice Factor: 0.74 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Y = 11.8*((QV*qp)^0.56)*K*Kzt*C*P --> 11.8*((19.5*1.256)^0.56)*0.17*25*0.61*0.74
Evaluating ... ...
Y = 135.733195165807
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
135.733195165807 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
135.733195165807 135.7332 Kilogram <-- Sediment Yield from an individual storm

What is Surface runoff?

Surface 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.
