CMT+W[ATMM <br />• where: <br />V = velocity, <br />n = Manning's roughness coefficient, <br />R = hydraulic radius, and <br />S = slope of water surface. <br />To apply this to the reach of interest, the following assumptions <br />must be made: <br />rectangular river channel, width » depth, <br />n constant, and <br />• S constant and =S~ (~l.ope of channel bottom). <br />These assumptions are not unreasonable through the Big Bottom <br />area. The Manning equation can then be converted to the follow- <br />ing form: <br />n s ~a Q.~ <br />where: <br />B = channel bottom width. <br />In other words, velocity is proportional to flow to the 0.4 pocaer. <br />Thus, using the mean Station 1 flow (from 29 to 31 August) of <br />230 cfs: <br /> <br />4-8 <br />
