How To Measure Q River.

The United States Geological Sur
vey frequently receives letters inquir-
ing for some simple method of de-
termining the approximate flow of
streams orsmallrivers. tits believed
that the following instructions may be
OF some value to those who for any
reason wish to determine the velocity
or volume of stream.
To ascertain the velocity of the
stream chose a place where the chan
nel is straight for 100 to 200 feet and
has a nearly constant width and
depth; lay off on the bank line so
or 100 feet in length. marking each
end; then allow small chips to float
down the stream. by one OF the meth
DDS described below. noting the time
required for these to traverse the dis
tsnce laid off un the bank. The sur
face velocity 10 feet per second is
obtained by dividing the distance IN
feet passed over by the float by the
time in seconds it takes the float 70
travel this distance. The average Of
several such determinations will give
the mean surface velocity Of the
II stream. This result rnultipEed bv
the coeffioient $50 gives very nearly
the mean velocity of the stream.
To obtain the area Of the cross
section of the stream. stretch a tape
from shore 70 shore and take the
depth of the stream at intervals OF
to 5 feet. The average of these
depth may be assumed as the mean
depth of the stream. This average
multiplied by the total width viii

the stream in square feet.
