Runoff Rates Formula - Rational Method

Runoff Rate (\( q = 0.0028 \times C \times I \times A \)):

Where:

  • \( q \) is the design peak runoff rate, in cubic meters per second (m³/sec).
  • \( C \) is the runoff coefficient.
  • \( I \) is the rainfall intensity in mm/hour for the design return period and for a duration equal to the “time of concentration” of the watershed.
  • \( A \) is the watershed area, in hectares (ha).
