Abstract
For the improvement of the conventional stage-discharge curve equation based on just stage, this study proposed a method to
estimate river discharge using hydraulic characteristics, such as hydraulic radius, bed slope, depth, etc. Hydraulic gradients in
Manning’s Equation and Chezy’s Equation, both of which are among mean velocity equations, were computed using those
characteristics. For that computation, hydrological data actually measured in a laboratory channel and a natural open channel from
the Albert University Report were used. And then, river discharge was calculated using the hydraulic gradients. For comparison with
the conventional method of inversely calculating roughness coefficients, their power function was formulated. And river discharge
estimated using the proposed method was compared with the corresponding one estimated using stage-discharge relations. As a
result, the proposed method showed results more approximate to measured discharge. An analysis of discrepancy ratio distribution
revealed that non-dimensional errors lied within the ranges of -0.2 to 0.23. This indicates that river discharge estimated using the
proposed method showed some improvements in accuracy, compared with river discharge estimated using the conventional stage-
discharge curve equation or inverse roughness coefficients.
Keywords: stage-discharge curve equation, regression analysis, roughness coefficient, mean velocity equations
