| Abstract: | A discharge rating is the relation of the discharge at a gaging station to stage and sometimes also to other variables. This chapter of ‘Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations‘ describes the procedures commonly used to develop simple ratings where discharge is related only to stage and the most frequently encountered types of complex ratings where additional factors such as rate of change in stage, water-surface slope, or index velocity are used. Fundamental techniques of logarithmic plotting and the applications of simple storage routing to rating development are demonstrated. Computer applications, especially for handheld programmable calculators, and data handling are stressed. |
