The Hydraulic Geometry Of Stream Channels And Some Phyriographic Implications PDF Download

"The rates of increase in a downstream direction in width, depth, and velocity of streams in Kansas are similar to those found for other streams in the Midwest. Information from 117 stream-gaging stations in Kansas and adjoining areas was used to develop the parameters to define the hydraulic geometry of the streams. Hydraulic equations written in terms of discharge were developed by least-squares regression for flows exceeded 10, 50, and 80 percent of the time and for average flow. The equations are used to predict the average width, depth, and velocity of flow for any location on streams in Kansas having drainage areas between 100 and 9,000 square miles. The average depth and velocity of flow can be used to compute the coefficient of reaeration"--Abstract.
