(OP)
Can any one tell me the funtion for the variation of velocity of water versus depth?

RE: calculate of currents

in a channel, pipe, over a weir, sheet flow?  Supercritical, subcritical - what type of flow?

start with Mannings equation - you can find it in the Handbook of Hydraulics by Brater and King

RE: calculate of currents

Chow's Open Channel Hydraulics and Henderson's Open Channel Flow also both give some information about depth/velocity distributions. But, as mentioned above, it is also a fundtion of what kind of flow and what kind of channel.

Happy hunting...
