Identify the correct velocity and stream discharge based on the following data:

Given: Average Depth = 0.50 meters

Stream Width = 3.0 meters

With the tape, measure a 10 meters length along the stream. Using the orange peel method through a piece into the water at the top end of your transect and determine the time in seconds required for the orange peel to travel the 10 meters distance.

1. 10 meters in ___5.0__ seconds Velocity (m/sec) ______

2. 10 meters in ___4.0__ seconds Velocity (m/sec) ______

3. 10 meters in __ 6.0_ seconds Velocity (m/sec) ______

The average velocity is __________ meters per second (m/sec).

Discharge (Q) = ____________________m3/sec

A) Average Vel. = 3.05 m/sec; Discharge = 4.07 m3/sec

B) Average Vel. = 2.05 m/sec; Discharge = 3.07 m3/sec

C) Average Vel. = 1.10 m/sec; Discharge = 3.07 m3/sec

D) Average Vel. = 1.10 m/sec; Discharge = 1.07 m3/sec
