Abstract

One of the first methods adopted in determining river discharge is the deduction of flow from rainfall. The best formula to co-relate these two values is that of Vermeule: F = R - E, and E = 15.5 + O.16R, where F = annual run-off in inches, R = annual rainfall in inches, and E = annual losses in inches. Owing to seasonal variations the author could not use this formula for Victorian streams, so river gauging had to be adopted. In this method the general routine comprises: select a site for gauging station; establish and securely fix gauge staff; arrange for readings of staff to be taken as often as required; take measurements of discharge at different water levels on gauge; establish a rating table by which the discharge corresponding to each reading is obtainable.
