Major stream (surface width at flood stage more than 35 m: Roughness coefficient is usually less 0.028-0.033 than that for minor streams of similar description on account of less effective resistance offered by irregular banks or vegetation on banks; values of n may be somewhat reduced. The value of n for larger streams of most regular sections, with no boulders or brush, may be in the range shown. Scanned by CamScanner
