Determine the discharge associated with a gage height of



In general, there is a direct relationship between discharge and width, depth (gage height), and velocity. A stream’s rating curve relates stream discharge to the gage height. Figure 22.1 shows the gage height plotted against discharge. Note that the discharge axis is logarithmic.
