Ephemeral streams - Hydraulic factors and their relation to the drainage net
Luna Bergere Leopold, John P. Miller
1956, Professional Paper 282-A
The hydraulic factors of width, depth, velocity, and suspended sediment load of ephemeral streams near Santa Fe, N. Mex., were measured during flood flow. Later, channel slope was measured. These flood-flow data, in conjunction with an analysis of drainage-basin configuration by the methods proposed by Horton, are used to determine...
