Confusing discharge rate units
[edit]All the discharge rates are expressed as absolute volumes (cubic metres or cubic feet) rather than volume rates such as cubic metres per second (or per minute or per day, all drastically different units). There is thus no way to sensibly interpret or understand the given figures. ~2026-18805-42 (talk) 04:23, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
- Replying to myself, based on a back-of-the-envelope calculation from the rainfall rate and drainage basin area these would appear to be flow per second. ~2026-18805-42 (talk) 04:32, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
