Calculation Formula

Rainfall Depth (cm) = Volume (liters) ÷ Area (square meters) × 100

Where:
- Volume (liters): Total volume of rainfall collected
- Area (square meters): Area over which rainfall was measured
- 100: Conversion factor to convert from square meters to square centimeters

How to Use the Rainfall Calculator

  1. Enter the total volume of rainfall collected in liters in the "Rainfall Volume" field.
  2. Enter the area over which the rainfall was measured in square meters in the "Area" field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the rainfall depth in centimeters.
  4. The result will be displayed in the "Rainfall Depth" field.

Principle of Calculation

The calculator uses the formula:

Rainfall Depth (cm) = Volume (liters) ÷ Area (square meters) × 100

This formula converts the total rainfall volume distributed over a specific area into a depth measurement in centimeters, which is commonly used for weather reporting and agricultural applications.

Applications

  • Agricultural planning: Determine water requirements for crops
  • Drainage design: Calculate needed capacity for stormwater systems
  • Water resource management: Assess precipitation patterns
  • Flood prediction: Estimate potential water accumulation
