Jarrett’s Equation

Jarrett’s equation can be used to estimate an accurate Manning’s n value for steep streams. This is important because steep mountain streams should, in many cases, be assigned a higher Manning’s n value than what is shown in Chow’s Manning’s n value tables (which is a table many hydraulic engineers reference regularly). For example, Chow’s … Read more
