Estimate the flow velocity of a river with satellite images
Earth ScienceAsked by: Kemar Jones How do you measure the flow velocity of a river? Multiply the average depth of the stream by the width of the stream to find the area in ft2. Divide the distance traveled by the average travel time to find the velocity of the stream in ft/sec. How do you calculate
