Peak Discharge (Q<sub>p</sub>) Calculator by Tabular Hydrograph Method

Peak Discharge (Qp) Calculator

Calculate the peak discharge using the Tabular Hydrograph Method (triangular hydrograph approximation):
\[ Q_p = \frac{2V}{T \times 60} \]

* Enter the total runoff volume \(V\) (ft3) and the runoff duration \(T\) (minutes).

Step 1: Enter Parameters

Example: 5000 ft³

Example: 30 minutes

Formula: \[ Q_p = \frac{2V}{T \times 60} \] with \(Q_p\) in cubic feet per second (cfs).
