How to measure the flow of water in a river or stream?
This process involves two things:
1. High water level in the stream or river.
2. Stream or river discharge (stream flow)
High water level in the stream:
Often during a heavy rain will be announced on the radio that "The White River is overloaded and is estimated to reach level 7 feet. "
The" 7 feet "represent an excess of river water level, measured in meters above a certain level previously established.

This is the amount of water flowing in a river during an intense period of rain, whose flow is reported in cubic feet per second (cfs) or liters pos (mgd) .
A high water level in the stream also means more intense shock.
discharge measurement is to calculate the amount of water flowing at any given time during a high water level in the stream.
For example, at a height of 21 feet, the River White may have a water discharge of 8,000 cubic feet per second. A cubic foot of water flowing per second is equivalent to 28.3 liters per second (7.48 gallons). more
