Discharge (hydrology)

In hydrology, discharge is the outflow of water from a river or lake or other body of water. The discharge describes how much water flows through, in a certain amount of time. The amount is usually expressed in ${\frac {m^{3}}{s}}$ (cubic metres per second).

The discharge is the opposite of the inflow.
