Abstract
Measuring or calculating channel velocities in small mountain streams is very difficult due to the high variability of the channel geometry parameters and roughness characteristics. A salt tracing procedure has been examined for small streams. The technique is simple and quick, using materials that are commonly available at most research watersheds and water resource centers. The velocity through the channel reach using the salt tracing method was found to be a better representation of the average stream velocity than that computed by the continuity equation at three channel cross sections.
