| Title: | CALCULATING STREAM DISCHARGE |
| Caption: | Diagram of the cross-sectional area of a stream when the entire channel is filled with water. The discharge of a stream (Q) is calculated by multiplying the velocity of the flow (V) times the cross-sectional area (A) of the water in the channel. Cross-sectional area is determined by use of a surveyed cross section of the stream channel and a measurement of the depth of water in the channel. |
