<br />Abstract
<br />
<br />.. In this paper we pre~enl an approach to estimate extreme roughness in torrents
<br />based o~ the tnmsfonnatl~n of. an Irregular bed geometry of a torrent reach into it
<br />gcnmclncally wel.1 delennmed 'J~alized' channel. One ha.'iic parameter is the surface
<br />uf the. waler, which wa~ determmed by a phologrammctric method using stereo
<br />photos on the ~nalYllcal Ploner WILD ACI. Two torrent segments were
<br />rh~tographed With two syn~hronized Rollci 6006 metric camerdS, which were
<br />IDst~~led ~boye the torrent while t.he mean wl~ily was .simultaneously measured by
<br />Ihe sah.dllullo~ melhod., The Strickler coeffiCients derived from our studies at two.
<br />torrcnt reaches m the SWISS Alps are also given in this paper.

<br />. .T~is equat!on, is theoretically based OR considerations of momentum
<br />equll~b~lum (gravity/friction) of a turbulent uniform flow. Gravity is represented by
<br />A, fncllon (shear stress) by P and C. The hydraulic radius is obviously affected by
<br />lhe channel shape and the fullfilling of discharge,
<br />The Chezy coefficient C is usually expressed by:
<br />
<br />k*R1/6
<br />I/n*Rl/6
<br />
<br />k: Strickler's velocity coefficient
<br />n: Manning's roughness factor
<br />Hydraulic calculations in torrents or mountain rivers are based on information
<br />a~ut channel ~hape, roughm.."SS and hydraulic radius. AI the moment, there exist no
<br />mcthod~ to esllmate the complex geometry of torrent beds which is es~cntial for
<br />c.al~ulatmg the .hydraulic r.adius. Hydrolgical invesligalions'in small calchments in
<br />SWIl,zer~and pomt out lhat now velocity in steep headwalers of moumainous river
<br />ba."isIRS IS usually lower than in the mean slream (Stort:helJegger, 1984,. HOI.Jd. 1993:
<br />/lodel ~"'d Sw,.cJlfmegger, /994). I.R lorrenls. Ihe channel shape varies in u wide
<br />mnge, and even on short reaches. It IS often hard to separale the inOuence of channel
