Average water level and discharge from multiple measurements over a period of time produced 22 paired water level and discharge data. This was used to generate a rating curve or known as a gauge-discharge relationship, Q = C(G-a)ß. Q is discharge, C and B are constants, G is the water level and a is the stage at zero discharge. The gauge-discharge relationship formula is transformed into logarithms logQ= Blog(G-a) + log C that is then written as Y = BX + b to estimate the best values of the gauge-discharge relationship parameter using the least square method. Input values from the data that is given in Table 3.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To develop the gauge discharge relationship for the stream we use a linear regression approach typically known as the least squares method to find the ... View the full answer
