Storm Events, "Q" in cfs: if known "C" "a" "b" "s" "n" "D"

Input Average width of bottom of channel, Feet Slope of Lt. side of channel, % in Dec. Slope of Rt. side of channel, % in Dec. Slope of channel, % in Dec. Roughness coefficient. ("n" for properly sized riprap = 0.0525) Mean depth of flow in channel for storm flow (May be trial depth until known "Q" is reached)

Calculated Output Cross-sectional area of flow in sq.ft. Wetted perimeter in feet * Quantity of flow in Cubic Feet per Second, cfs * Mean Velocity of stream (May be trial Depth until known "Q" is reached) Length of wetted side, "a" Length of wetted side, "b"
