Excerpt from Stream Gaging
The development of water-power, the building of impounding reservoirs, the irrigation of arid lands, and the carrying out of other hydraulic projects involving the use of streams, require the hydraulic engineer to have as a part of his professional equipment a ready and working knowledge of the general nature of stream flow and the practical methods for determining the rate of discharge.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, originally published in 1927, presents a comprehensive analysis of stream gaging research conducted by the United States Geological Society, the Mississippi River Commission, Cornell University, and various other organizations and individuals. The author has examined a wealth of experimental and observational data to create this exhaustive guide for understanding streamflow velocity, rate, and volume for the purpose of calibrating rivers and streams. Among the focus areas are methods for determining the relationship between stage and discharge, stage-discharge relations affected by the presence of ice, and the nature and occurrence of streamflow pulsation. Additionally, the author considers the larger effects of streamflow velocity on erosion and deposition of material lining stream beds. The volume concludes with a discussion of how a stream's velocity is affected by the roughness of the channel it flows through. This book represents a substantial reference for stream gaging techniques and hydraulic engineering theory.
