How to Use the Calculator
- Enter the width of the waterfall in meters.
- Enter the height of the waterfall in meters.
- Enter the velocity of the water flow in meters per second.
- Click the "Calculate" button to compute the flow rate.
- The flow rate will be displayed in cubic meters per second (m³/s).
Principle of Calculation
The calculator uses the formula Q = A × V, where:
- Q is the flow rate in cubic meters per second (m³/s).
- A is the cross-sectional area of the waterfall in square meters (m²), calculated as width × height.
- V is the velocity of the water flow in meters per second (m/s).
Applications
This calculator is useful for:
- Hydrological studies to understand water flow in natural waterfalls.
- Irrigation planning to determine water requirements for agricultural use.
- Designing aesthetic water features such as fountains and cascades.
- Environmental impact assessments related to water bodies.
