Estimating Mm3 Values in Hydrology

This document contains information about estimating natural flow and runoff-rainfall ratios from stream gauge data where some water is diverted upstream. It also provides background on different empirical equations that can be used to estimate runoff volumes, such as Barlow's table, Strange's table, the Inglis and DeSouza formula, and Khosla's formula. It includes examples of problems calculating runoff using these methods based on data like monthly rainfall, catchment area, and temperature.

Run-off
Natural Flow
Problem 1:
The following table gives values of measured discharges at a stream gauging
site in a year. Upstream of the gauging site a weir built across the stream
diverts 3.0 Mm3 and 0.50 Mm3 of water per month for irrigation and for use in
an industry respectively. The return flows from the irrigation is estimated as
0.80 Mm3 and from the industry at 0.30 Mm3 reaching the stream upstream
of the gauging site. Estimate the natural flow. If the catchment area is 180 km2
and the average annual rainfall is 185 cm, determine the runoff-rainfall ratio.

STRANGE’S TABLE:
Strange (1892) studied the
available rainfall and runoff
in the border areas of
present-day Maharashtra
and Karnataka and has
obtained yield ratios as
functions of indicators
representing catchment
characteristics.

Catchments are classified as


good, average and bad
according to the relative
magnitudes of yield
