Find the intensity of Rainfall When the duration of Rainfall is Given First of all, we need to know the formula used to determine rainfall intensity. There are three types of empirical formula, they are  a) For storm duration 5 to 20 minutes b) For storm duration 20 to 100 minutes c) Where rainfall is … Continue reading Find the Intensity of Rainfall When the duration of Rainfall is Given →

How to Determine Runoff by using Rational Method First of all, we need to understand which formula or expression are used for determination of runoff. In rational method, the runoff is given by the following expression: Where, Q = Runoff in cumecK = Coefficient of runoffi = Intensity of rainfall in cm/hrA = Catchment area … Continue reading How to Determine Runoff by using Rational Method – Mathematical Problem & Solution →

How to Determine Runoff Coefficient When the nature of the surface of different areas and the impermeability factors of the areas are known or given, then the value of runoff coefficient(K) may be determined by the following expression: Where,  a1, a2 = Area of different surfaces.p1, p2 = Impermeability factors of those surfaces.A = Total surface area. … Continue reading How to Determine Runoff Coefficient – Mathematical Problem & Solution →
