Explanation:
The higher the volume of water in a stream, the higher its speed and the wide its size and shape which ensures a proportionate flow rate.
To quantify how the speed of stream, we use the quantity, discharge in hydrology;
Discharge is the volumetric rate of water flow past a point at a particular time.
Discharge = [tex]\frac{volume of water}{time}[/tex]
- We see that discharge is directly proportional to the volume of water in a stream.
- It is inversely proportional to the time taken.
- We know that volume is the amount of space occupied by a body. It is function of its size and shape.
- A big water body that is deeper, wider and longer will have more wate and a greater discharge.
