Source: R/planning_details.R
planning_area_discharge.Rd

This functions reads specific runoff concentrations provided within the package. For all substances with concentration data, the overall discharged amount is calculated using the detailed information about area functions within the planning area (Excel sheet: "planning_area_details")

Usage

planning_area_discharge(planning_data, q_rain, t_rain, y_rain, thresholdTable)

Arguments

planning_data

The Excel sheet "planning_area_details" loaded by load_planning_details()

q_rain

Rain intensity in L/(ha*s)

t_rain

Rain length in s

y_rain

Yearly rain amount in mm

thresholdTable

Table of threshold values. Can be loaded with get_thresholds().

Value

Pollutant load per event or per year, depending on the threshold value definition. The mass unit is either mg or ug, depending on the input concentration unit.
