Introducing the channel conveyance, KCAR1/2(i.e. the discharge for slope1), equation (8.9) becomes dy/dxS 0 {[1 (K 0 /K)^2 ]/ ...

condition of validity of equation (8.19) is that Re(wd/v) 103. As, from equation (8.1),  0 / U^2 *, equation (8.19) can also ...

It must be emphasized that the full application of the above and other more sophisticated equations requires further reading (e. ...
