Question

7. You are a hydrologist and your job is to find out how much volume is moving through time. You are working in a special project for the City District. You had collected data in particular location of the stream. The data represents velocity of the stream. The location of the stream that you had collected has a width and depth (25 mx 21 m). Your job is to calculate the average velocity and the Area of the stream in order to obtain the discharge or Volume per time. What is your discharge result? Formula: Q = Area x Vaverage, Area = Width x Depth Velocity Data # of points Speed (m/s) width depth velocity Common Units width in ft. m) depth in ft. m) velocity f or m/s)

Average velocity 28.26m/s

Area of stream order =525m^2

Discharge =28.26×525=14836.5m^3/sec
