                Q = 1.49 ARh2/3 S1/2

    n

     

     

    where:

    Q

    is the discharge in cfs

     

    V

    is the average velocity in fps.

     

    A

    is the cross-sectional area of the stream in square feet.

     

    Rh

    is the hydraulic radius of the stream in feet, as

     

     

    determined by the cross-sectional area (A) divided by the

     

     

    wetted perimeter.

     

    S

    is the slope of the stream in decimal form.

     

    n

    is the Manning coefficient.
