Burkli Ziegler Formula – To Determine the Peak Runoff Rate

Posted on 22nd April 202222nd April 2022 By Malay Sautya

Burkli Ziegler Formula

Burkli Ziegler formula is the oldest formula used to determine the peak runoff rate. It was derived by a swiss engineer for local conditions. After that, it was followed in the whole U.S.A.

In M.K.S unites it states that

 Q_{p} = \left ( \frac{1}{455} \right )\, K^{'}\, .\, p\, .\, A\, .\, \sqrt{\frac{S_{0}}{A}}

Where,

►   Q_{p} = The peak runoff in cumecs.

►  K^{'} = Runoff coefficient (Depending upon the permeability of the surface), and the average value is taken as 0.7.

► p = The maximum rainfall intensity over the entire area( Usually the value is taken as 2.5 to 7.5 cm/hr.

► A = Drainage area in hectares.

► S0 = The slope of the ground surface in meters per thousand meters.
