The average velocity (V) and depth of flow (d)in a channel reach are measured, as shown in the following table, during four storm events.The trapezoidal reach has a bottom width of 15 ft, side slopes of 2.5:1 (h:v),and a bottom slope of 0.008. Mean velocity measurements are assumed to be accurate to ±107%, and the depth has an expected accuracy of ±0.3 ft. What is the best estimate of n and what is its expected accuracy?
