    It is the ratio of the average discharge to the maximum discharge (design discharge).
    Mathematically, Capacity factor=Average Discharge/Design Discharge
    For example, a canal was designed or the maximum discharge of 50 cumecs, but the averagedischarge is 40 cumecs, then the capacity factor is
    40/50=0.8
