10 important questions on Catchments - Discharge
What does S0 stand for
What doest Rh (m) stand for?
Which factors influence the amount of water a river or stream can carry?

What is the formula for discharge?
When is the discharge high?
met Q = discharge in m^3 s^-1
v=mean flow velocity in ms^-1
A=cross-sectional area in m^2 (widthx mean depth)
(discharge is volume of water passing the cross-sectional area of a river in a certain time period)
What is the Chézy coefficient?
When is it possible to calculate the average velocity with the empirical Chezy equation?
Chezy equation: v=C x root(S0 x Rh)
Rh=A/P
S0=slope
v=flow velocity
Rh=hydraulic radius
A=cross-sectional area
P=wetted perimeter
What is the discharge capacity?
What happens with stream restoration and what is the result of that
What is the result of an abundance of vegetation on the river banks?
