Stream Flow Discharge given Suspended Sediment Load Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Stream Discharge = (Suspended Sediment Load/Soil Erodibility Factor)^(1/Constant n)
Q = (Qs/K)^(1/n)
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Stream Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Stream discharge is the volumetric flow rate of water that is transported through a given cross-sectional area.
Suspended Sediment Load - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Suspended Sediment Load at the stations.
Soil Erodibility Factor - Soil Erodibility Factor is the intrinsic susceptibility of a soil to erosion by runoff and raindrop impact.
Constant n - Constant n is for the catchment to be determined by the effective rainfall of the catchment.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Suspended Sediment Load: 230 Ton (metric) per Day --> 2.66203703703704 Kilogram per Second (Check conversion here)
Soil Erodibility Factor: 0.17 --> No Conversion Required
Constant n: 3 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Q = (Qs/K)^(1/n) --> (2.66203703703704/0.17)^(1/3)
Evaluating ... ...
Q = 2.50181422414905
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
2.50181422414905 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
2.50181422414905 2.501814 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Stream Discharge
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Stream Flow Discharge given Suspended Sediment Load Formula

Stream Discharge = (Suspended Sediment Load/Soil Erodibility Factor)^(1/Constant n)
Q = (Qs/K)^(1/n)

What is Soil Erodibility?

Soil Erodibility (K ) is the intrinsic susceptibility of a soil to erosion by runoff and raindrop impact. Values of K range from the lowest erodibility, 0.02, to the highest, 0.69. All other factors being equal, the higher the K value, the greater the susceptibility of the soil to rill and sheet erosion by rainfall.
