For channels affected by <br />channelization, the active-channel equations only are applicable when the active <br />channels have stabilized (approximately 5 to 10 years after channelization). See <br />Appendix C for a discussion of stabilized channels. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />ESTIMATING DESIGN.FLOOD DISClIARGES USING CHANNEL-GEOMETRY CHARACTERISTICS 23 <br />
