Download Guide for Selecting Manning's Roughness Coefficients (PDF File)
File Size: 3593796 bytes
File Date: Wed Apr 10 23:57:18 2002
This PDF file contains documentation on how to select Manning's Roughness Coefficient. Most hydraulic computations related to indirect estimates of discharge require an evaluation of the roughness characteristics of the channel. This document contains photographs and data for a wide range of channel conditions that can be used to select roughness coefficients for other natural channels.
