THE HIGH FLOOD'S MAXIMUM FLOW ANALYTICAL (RATIONAL) METHOD

# THE HIGH FLOOD'S MAXIMUM FLOW ANALYTICAL (RATIONAL) METHOD

In the Rational Method the high flood's maximum flow is corresponding to an established recurrence interval Tr.

where QT the flow in m³/sec, with:

A = flowing surface [Km²];

h = rain's elevation that drops in a period equal to the concentration one [mm];

tc = time of concentration [hours];

c = flowing coefficient;

k = factor that take into consideration the measurement units.
