Calculate pollutant input from runoff area area within a rain event

Usage

Input_event(area_runoff, Ci_storm, coeff_runoff, q_rain, t_rain)

Arguments

area_runoff

Connected runoff area in ha.

Ci_storm

Concentration in stormwater run-off for substance i.

coeff_runoff

runoff coefficient of runoff area.

q_rain

rain amount in L/(ha*s)

t_rain

duration of rain in s

Value

maximal pollutant input in mass per rain event. The mass unit depends on the runoff concentration mass unit (one unit larger: factor 1000, i.e. if concentration is in ug/L, the pollutant load is in mg/event)
