slope area method
An indirect method of discharge measurement, especially after floods, by determining the water surface slope during the peak flow, by using the high water marks, a survey of two or more river cross sections along a stretch of the river, and by estimating the river roughness coefficient.
The discharge is then calculated by the Manning equation or Chezy equation.
