Stream discharge physically depends on two factors: stream cross-sectional area and velocity. Area is composed of width and depth. Q (flow) = vel x width x depth. Stream elevation change, or how...
As a particle size gets larger in a stream, the force needed to move the particle in the suspended water column is greater. The velocity dictates which size particles are able to be picked up from...
Stream discharge is a product of the velocity and the area of the stream (velocity x width x depth), and has units of volume per time (e.g. cubic feet per second, cubic meter per day, etc). Stream...
