In hydrology, discharge is the volume rate of water flow, including any suspended solids, dissolved chemical species and/or biologic material, which is transported through a given cross-sectional area. Frequently, other terms synonymous with discharge are used to describe the volumetric flow rate of water and are typically discipline dependent. For example, a Fluvial Hydrologist studying natural river systems may define discharge as streamflow, whereas an Engineer operating a reservoir system might define discharge as outflow, which is contrasted with inflow. The units that are typically used to express discharge include m³/s, ft³/s and/or acre-feet per day. For example, the average discharge of the Rhine river in Europe is 2,200 m³/s, 77,704 ft³/s or ~154,000 acre-feet per day.
