English to metric conversion of hydraulic geometry and its significance to basins software

Auteur :
RIDENOUR, G.S.

Description :
The purpose of this technical note is threefold : 1) to provide a derivation for the conversion formula and to prove that the slopes (i.e., hydraulic exponents) are, in fact, independent of units; 2) to correct an erratum that appeared in the conversion formula and a related error in the BASINS User's Manual, Version 2.0 (USEPA, 1998); and 3) to discuss the significance of different systems of units for describing hydraulic geometry.
