2.2 River Discharge River
Discharge is the volume of
water that passes through a
particular point of a
channel in a given period of
time. It is expressed in
cubic metres per second(m³/s).
River discharge can be
measured by multiplying the
cross-sectional area (width
x depth) of the channel by
the river velocity at that
particular section. River discharge = Area of a cross-section x Velocity of a river flow
