Burkli Ziegler Formula – To Determine the Peak Runoff Rate

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 Where, ► = The peak runoff in cumecs. ► = Runoff coefficient (Depending … Continue reading Burkli Ziegler Formula – To Determine the Peak Runoff Rate →
