Why is it important for hydrologists to measure discharge? How is the knoweledge of stream discharge useful for chemists?
How is an accurate measure of a small stream discharge measured?
The discharge of a stream is directly related to the A) volume of water flowing past a given point in a channel in a given amount of time. B) cross-sectional area of a channel and the average stream velocity. C) average stream speed and frictional contact. D) channel geometry and frictional contact.
Describe how chemists represent chemical reactions on paper.
The volume of water that a stream moves in a given amount of time is known as the stream's discharge In general, stream discharge will be velocity. 1 square 1 square meter Stream B Stream A Velocity: 30 meters/second Velocity: 10 meters/second Consider the above figure depicting a side view of the cross-section of two streams Each square represents one square meter (1 m) Think about which one would have greater discharge. (Develop a hypothesis.) Now let's test your hypothesis....
Q1. The stage-discharge data of a river are given below. Establish a stage discharge relationship to predict the stage for known discharge. Assume the stage value for a zero discharge as 20.50 m. Also determine the stage of river corresponding to a discharge of 2600 m3/s.

How does urbanization enlarge stream channels? How does urbanization affect wetland plant diversity How does increased urbanization in a watershed contribute to a loss of riparian continuity? How does urbanization increase peak discharge in a watershed? Does increased urbanization lead to a decline in stream habitat quality? Why or why not? How can increased urbanization lead to a diminished base flow?

A stream has a width of 30 m, depth of 3 m, and a mean velocity of 1.25 m's. authorities are planning to build a 1 m. a. Estimate the discharge (m/s) in the stream. b. Estimate the velocity of stream when the water level is c. How much head is generated when the water level is raised by 1 m? d. Determine if the weir has free or submerged discharge. 5. The stream sharp-crested weir to raise the water...
