What is the Modified Rational Method?

The modified rational method (MRM) is an extension of the rational method to produce simple runoff hydrographs. The MRM is often called the rational hydrograph method.

What is the rational method in hydrology?

The Rational Method expresses a relationship between rainfall intensity and catchment area as independent variables and the peak flood discharge resulting from the rainfall as the dependent variable. It has been used for over 150 years, and known as the Rational Method for nearly 100 years.

What is StormCAD?

StormCAD is a comprehensive modeling software for the design and analysis of storm sewer systems. With StormCAD, you can calculate catchment runoffs, inlet capacities, and gutters and pipe network flows.

What is overland flow in the water cycle?

Overland flow is the movement of water over the land, downslope toward a surface water body. Overland flow is a very important aspect of the water cycle and can be generated under two different physical mechanisms.

What is peak discharge?

Peak discharge is also referred to as peak rate of discharge or peak rate of runoff. It is usually referred to in units of cubic feet per second, or cfs. That is the amount of water in cubic feet that would flow past the point of interest in one second at the maximum flood stage.

What is river discharge?

‘River discharge’ is the volume of water flowing through a river channel; measured at any given point in cubic metres per second.
