Summary
Physically based approaches to hydraulic geometry relations for width, depth, velocity, and slope require equations of continuity of water, roughness, and sediment transport. Different methods have been employed for different expressions of roughness and sediment transport. Without delving into their underlying theories, this chapter briefly outlines these expressions as they will be invoked in subsequent chapters. Also, unit stream power, stream power as well as entropy have been employed, which are also briefly discussed.
