The flow module (in a watercourse ) is the volume of water flowing from a specific area of the basin ( catchment area ) per unit time. It is measured in m³ / (s × km²) , and for small quantities in l / (s × km²) .
It is calculated by dividing the water discharge by the catchment area.
It is calculated by the following formula:
where Q is the flow rate of water , l / s ; and F is the catchment area , km² .
