Volumetric flow rate
- In hydrology, discharge is the volumetric flow rate (volume per time, in units of m 3 /h or ft 3 /h) of a stream. It equals the product of average flow velocity (with dimension of length per time, in m/h or ft/h) and the cross-sectional area (in m 2 or ft 2). It includes any suspended solids (e.g. sediment), dissolved chemicals like CaCO

discharge. Solutes with positive cQ slopes (mobilization, c) exhibit higher concentrations at high flows, and decreasing concentrations during hydrograph recession. Power-law cQ slopes steeper than 1 indicate that concentrations change more than proportionally to discharge. the years 2017 and 2018, stream discharge at the catchment

Discharge (or flow) refers to the volumetric amount of water carried by a body of water per unit time and is commonly expressed in units of cubic feet per second (cfs) or liters per second (lps). The degree to which discharge affects the structure of stream and river ecosystems cannot be overstated.
Feb 15, 2017 · 1 Introduction. Solute concentration (C) and discharge (Q) at stream mouths integrate water and reaction processes dictated by land cover, topography and subsurface structure, encoding important signatures of hydrology and geochemical coupling at the watershed scale (Figure 1 ).
