WMS:OC Rational Equation
From XMS Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
Flows for the Orange County rational method are calculated from the following equation:
Q = 0.90(I - Fm)A
where:
- Q - peak flow (ft3/s or m3/s)
- I - rainfall intensity (in/hr, mm/hr)
- Fm- maximum loss rate, where Fm = ap * Fp
- A - catchment area (acres)
This equation is very similar to the traditional Rational Method equation. The term I - Fm is often referred to as the effective precipitation.
