suppose every one acquainted with Hyrometry familiar
with the work for il is rather compilation Of previously
discovered truths than advancement of theory
From the laws we have noticed applicable to rivers,
deduCe the following to be the established doctrne 1t No
single principle law is in full unob operation in
any known but the various laws applicable the
case present. governing the motion of fluids All are in
pecive operation in fellowship partnership, but dis

or governing action. 1t will be sufficient the most
leading important of those laws by which the phenomena
we see produced. 1t laid down general rule that

Let be so taken Yeitiseydent thatn such channel,
inverse of depth is also constantly attended with an in
crease of the inclination of the surface and followed by
proportional increase of velocity The first obvious conse
uuence is that the of fluid nearest the surface is
greater velocity than that Distant while above the in.

this law affected by another known principle fuid-tech

fluid passing through orce does not in volume
