Physiographical factors
◦ Shape of watershed
◦ The shape of the drainage basin appreciably affects the rate at
which water enters the stream.
◦ The shape of the basin may be (1) Fan shaped and (2) Fern leaf
shaped.
9
The artificial storage such as dams, weirs, etc and natural storage such as
lakes and ponds tend to reduce the peak flow.
◦ Drainage system
◦ Urbanization

Discharge/Stream flow
method
◦ Discharge is the volume of water moving down a stream or river
per unit of time, commonly expressed in cubic feet per second or
gallons per day.
◦ Kadar alir adalah jumlah air yang mengalir ke sungai atau per
satuan waktu, biasanya dinyatakan dalam kaki padu per saat
atau gelen sehari.
In general, river discharge is computed by multiplying the area of
water in a channel cross section by the average velocity of the
water in that cross section:
Area-Velocity Method
26
Velocity-Area Method
◦ Q = [Velocity x Area]
◦ Need to know width of channel (w), Depth of channel (d), and
Velocity of flow (V) (ft/s or m/s)
◦ Area = w x d
◦ Because depth & velocity vary across a channel:
(1) Important to divide the channel into manageable segments (slices);
Typically use 10-20 segments
(2) For each segment measure depth, width and velocity

ACOUSTIC DOPPLER CURRENT
PROFILER
In recent years, advances in technology have allowed the USGS to make
discharge measurements by use of an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP).
An ADCP uses the principles of the Doppler Effect to measure the velocity of
water. The Doppler Effect is the phenomenon we experience when passed by a
car or train that is sounding its horn. As the car or train passes, the sound of the
horn seems to drop in frequency.
