Calculate Peak Discharge (qp) By Graphical Peak Discharge Method:
*Referencing TR-55, Chapter 4, this calculation is to be used for calculating the peak discharge using the Graphical Peak Discharge method.
 
Calculation:
Designer/Checker:
   
Input:  
   
   
For Metric, all input units are converted for the calculation below then converted back for the output results. 
Time of concentration (tc - hrs)
Regression coefficient C0
Regression coefficient C1
Regression coefficient C2
Drainage area (Am - sq mi or sq km)
Runoff (Q - in or mm)
Pond and swamp adjustment factor (Fp)

 
   
 
Output:
 
Unit peak discharge, qu (csm/in) = 10^(C0 + C1(log(tc)) + C2((log(tc))^2) 
Peak discharge, qp = quAmQFp 
 
Peak discharge, qp =
