Yup thats what I was looking for. Thanks for the help!

I can't seem to find any updated information for using the USLE in California. I saw some reference on the ACOR website awhile back but I can't find it now. Any ideas? Also, I'm open to other methods besides USLE for soil loss. Thanks for the help

Might be a dumb question but; How do I classify the "soil group" for a portion of land I intend to use the rational method on? I just moved to this part of the state and I am extremely unfamiliar with the soil in this area. I do not have a geo report for any surrounding area nor do I have one...

Thanks for the ideas. We actually decided to do a combination idea of Mannings and a paper boat. It was assumed the paper boat was light enough to represent the velocity and the average cross sectional area between the two points the boat was measured was used to calc Q. Then we used Mannings as...

Wow I am off my game today, gbam, I was referring to Mannings when I said Bernouli's. I know the dimensions of the trap from plans I obtained from the city master drain plan. Knowing hw mark will allow P to be calculated. I think that does it. Thanks for your help guys, sorry for the absent...

The trap is owned by Cal Trans but the flow comes from the city storm drain system. I know the 10 year and 100 year storm event flows from the city master drain plan but we want to quantify the nuisance water that no one anticipated during the development of the city. The hydro study for the...

Ignore the first idea, I don't know waht I was thinking. If I measure the high water level of the nuisance water and the slope of the trap channel over a given length would it be reasonable to say I could apply Bernouli's (sp?) equation at that point to predict flow rate?

I have a Cal Trans owned Trap Channel that drains into my project site. The trap channel is continuously conveying nuisance water. Are there any insitu methods of determining the flow rate of said nuisance water? My employer does not want to spend money, so ultrasonic level transducers are out...
