Peak Discharge Estimation: Rational Method

Note the acre conversion at 4:11 should be labeled square feet, not just feet. The conversion is correct, however.

volume doesn't equal intensity times area, that would be a flowrate, check your dimensions prof 3:41

[@hunterdickerson4077]

This literally could not be better. Thank you!

[@gilbertoflores6324]

Super! Thanks a lot! Old way of teaching still works,

[@tigisteshete1364]

i LIKE YOUR APPROACH EVEN YOUR WRITING CLASS BOARD

[@mimo1977]

There is a typo in the conversion at 4:3. It should be (4356 ft^2 /acre).

[@wirastutiwidyatmanti7055]

If we don't have data of rainfall intensity but only several data from meteorology station points in the study area, what rainfall mapping/interpolation method we should use to provide the i-value?

[@adrianarangel7294]

i also have the same question!

[@kevinv2441]

I am in my first year of professional engineering post graduation and this is an amazing refresher course, thank you! My only question is, did you write backwards?! It's wild because I know I can't do that lol

[@Abel19129]

nah, i believe he write normally, on a piece of plastic or acrylic or something. And after that he just simply mirrored the video so we can easily read it

[@gilbertoflores6324]

you may be right because on the video looks like he is left handed@@Abel19129

[@kumarbanjara2723]

Thanks it was helpful

[@marconajudnam2843]

Can you show the calculation how you got 8.7

[@ncssm]

(3.6 * 2.4 * 43560) / (12 * 3600) = 8.712

[@gregorygbee7554]

How did you get the 43560 ft

[@KevinDAgostino]

@@gregorygbee7554 43,560 sq ft in acre

[@harshilpatel9537]

I acre = 43560 square feet
