Calculate Stream Velocity





Formula

To calculate the Stream Velocity:

\[ SV = \frac{Q}{W \times D} \]

What is Stream Velocity?

Stream velocity is a measure of the linear rate of change of distance with respect to the time of a stream or river. It indicates how fast the water is moving in the stream or river.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ SV = \frac{500}{20 \times 10} = 2.50 \text{ ft/s} \]

The Stream Velocity is 2.50 ft/s.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ SV = \frac{300}{15 \times 8} = 2.50 \text{ ft/s} \]

The Stream Velocity is 2.50 ft/s.
