Stephanie Chico Kirstenstephenson Stream Discharge Worksheet Stream County Date 1 Site # Description Trained Data Submitter Trained Participants Instructions for Calculation of Stream Discharge (Flow) Select a section of stream that is relatively straight, free of large objects such as logs or large boulders, with a noticeable current, and with a depth as uniform as possible. Stretch the tape measure provided by the program across the stream. The “O" point should be anchored at the wetted edge of the stream. The end of the tape measure should be anchored at the opposite end so that it is taut and even with the other wetted edge. 1. Determine stream cross-sectional area. The first step in determining cross sectional area is to measure and calculate the average stream depth. In the table below, record depth measurements at one foot intervals along the tape measure you have stretched across the stream. The depth must be measured in tenths of a foot (i.e., 1.7 feet equals one foot and seven tenths). DO NOT MEASURE DEPTH IN INCHES. Record Depths at 1 Foot Intervals Stream enstr -0.5 Interval Number Depth in Feet Interval Number Depth in Feet Interval Number Depth in Feet 1 11 1.04 ft 21 2 12 22 3 13 23 4 14 24 5 15 25 1.25 -4 133 -5 67 1.67 1.67 1.5 -33 -25 6 16 26 sh 7 17 27 8 18 28 9 19 29 20 10 Sum 30 Sum Sum The average depth is calculated by dividing the sum of depth measurements by the number of intervals at which measurements were taken. 4.61 Sum of Depths (Feet) Number of Intervals 42 Average Depth (Feet) The final step in calculating the cross sectional area is to multiply the average depth (in feet) by the stream wi (in feet) at the point where the tape measure is stretched across the stream. х .42 Average Depth (Feet) 10.
