Relations between Discharge and Wetted Perimeter and Other Hydraulic-GeometryCharacteristics at Selected Streamflow-Gaging Stations in Massachusetts

摘要

The purpose of this report is to describe relations between discharge and wettedperimeter and other hydraulic-geometry characteristics at selected USGS streamflow-gaging stations in Massachusetts. In addition, the applicability of the use of the wetted-perimeter threshold method, which is based on the relation between discharge and wetted perimeter at a streamflow-measurement site, to the determination of instream-flow requirements for Massachusetts streams was evaluated. Methods used and results found at each selected gaging station are described, and limitations of the analysis are discussed.
