Calculating Stream Flow in a Watershed

Not what you're looking for?

Ask Custom Question

Following the stream cross section (ft2) and the stream velocity (ft/sec) allows us to calculate the stream flow (ft3/sec). The watershed runoff during a storm is 3.5 ft. high and flows in 18 ft. wide channel. The velocity is measured at 1.2 feet per second (fps). What is the flow rate of the water in cubic feet per second?
