Gauge Height given Discharge for Non-Alluvial Rivers Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Gauge Height = (Discharge in Stream/Rating Curve Constant)^(1/Rating Curve Constant Beta)+Constant of Gauge Reading
G = (Q_s/C_r)^(1/β)+a
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Gauge Height - (Measured in Meter) - Gauge Height is the height of the water in the stream above a reference point.
Discharge in Stream - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge in Stream is the volumetric flow rate of water that is transported through a given cross-sectional area.
Rating Curve Constant - Rating Curve Constant is a relationship between two stream or river variables, usually its Discharge (m3 s−1) and a related variable such as water stage.
Rating Curve Constant Beta - Rating Curve Constant Beta is a relationship between two stream or river variables, usually its Discharge (m3 s−1) and a related variable such as water stage.
Constant of Gauge Reading - Constant of gauge reading corresponding to zero discharge.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge in Stream: 60 Cubic Meter per Second --> 60 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Rating Curve Constant: 1.99 --> No Conversion Required
Rating Curve Constant Beta: 1.6 --> No Conversion Required

What is Permanent Control?

The measured value of discharges when plotted against the corresponding stages gives relationship that represents the integrated effect of a wide range of channel and flow parameters. The combined effect of these parameters is termed as control. If the relationship for gauging section is constant and does not change with time, the control is then said to be a Permanent Control.

What is the Backwater Effect?

A backwater is a part of a river in which there is little or no current. It can refer to a branch of a main river, which lies alongside it and then rejoins it, or to a body of water in a main river, backed up by the tide or by an obstruction such as a dam. The backwater effect transmits the secondary currents backwards, resulting in the creation of a sinuous pattern upstream from the shrinkage.
The Backwater phenomenon leads to an increase in the water surface level of upstream regions, thereby imposing the threat of submergence during flood events and affecting the longitudinal extent of the river reach.
