Effect of channel material on width-discharge relations for perennial streams, with emphasis on streams in Kansas -- a progress report
W. R. Osterkamp
1977, Open-File Report 77-38
Using consistent procedures for width measurement at established streamflow-gaging stations, data were compiled to develop a power-function relation between width and mean discharge for high-gradient perennial streams. High-gradient channels, which generally exhibit low variability for most factors influencing the width-discharge relation, were selected to define a standard exponent in the...
