How do I find stream depth given flow rate ?
How do I find stream depth given flow rate ?
(OP)
I need to find out how high the water in a creek gets when a flow of 100 cfs flows through it. I've got some survey data with four cross sections of the stream over a 2000 foot reach length, so I can figure out the cross sectional areas and a rough estimate of the volume of the stream for this reach. Is there a way I can use that information to determine the water depth for a particular flow rate?

good luck

If you've got that much survey data, the toughest part of HECRAS is done. The surveyor will hopefully remember the boundary conditions well enough for accurate Manning's "n" (which you need with Manning's or HECRAS).
