In the case of the Fly River near
Kuambit, the calculation ended
here because bankfull depth is
9.45 m (iterated on Hs to get the
right value of H). This upper limit
on Hs (as well as the lower limit)
must be changed appropriately for
other streams.
 a) Wright-Parker formulation for flow resistance,
b) Ashida-Michiue formulation for bedload transport,
c) Wright-Parker formulation (without stratification) for suspended load.
